This species, a native of Van Diemen’s Land, was raised 
at the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, from seeds communi- 
cated by Mr. Newsiceine ; and likewise by the Rev. Ep- 
warp Craic, in January, 1831. It flowered for the first 
time in April and May, 1832, the plants being still very 
small. 
Many of the plants flowered much more freely in March 
and April this year. Graham.
