nerves, beneath clothed with a dense, rusty down, deeper 
on the prominent nerves and midrib. Flowers small, col-— 
lected into dense, bracteated glomeruli or capitula, which 
are sometimes on short, solitary, peduncles from the axils of 
the leaves, or they form a sort of panicle at the extremities 
of the numerous branches. Bractee membranaceous, ovate, 
concave, ferruginous, slightly downy, shorter than the 
scarcely pedicellated flowers, subinvolucrate. Calyx sub- 
campanulate, pale yellowish-white, densely hairy, the lower 
part of the tube adherent with the germen, the limb five- 
cleft, segments ovate, acute, erecto-patent, hairy at the 
base within. Petals none. Stamens alternate with the 
segments of the calyx, and longer than they. Filaments 
erect, remarkably inflexed at the extremity. Anthers versa- 
tile, oblong, yellow, two-celled. Style short: Stigma three- 
cleft, the segments linear. , 
This new species of Pomaprrris was discovered by ALLAN 
Cunnincuam, Esq. in a ravine at the base of the “ Pine 
Hills,” near Bathurst, New South Wales, in October, 1822; 
and by the same Naturalist, in 1823, was introduced to the 
Royal Gardens at Kew, whence flowering specimens were — 
obligingly communicated by W. T. Arron, Esq; in April 
1832, It requires the same treatment as the New Holland 
plants in general, a soil with a considerable admixture 0) 
peat, and such protection from the frost in the winter as iS 
afforded by a common greenhouse, or conservatory.
