This plant was raised at the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, 
from seeds sent by the late Mr. Fraser from New Holland, 
in 1827, and flowers most profusely in the greenhouse in 
April. It is an exceedingly ornamental species in cultiva- 
tion. This form is so extremely unlike the other variety 
of H. dactyloides, that 1 should have considered it speci- 
ically distinct, but for the authority of Mr. Brown as 
quoted.
