deep purple-black ring. Ale yellow, oblong, concave,

For the possession of this highly ornamental greenhouse 
plant, the Glasgow Botanic Garden is indebted to Dr. 
Scort, who sent seeds from Van Diemen’s Land, from 
which plants were raised that blossomed in April, 1833. 
The flowers are very bright coloured, and the variegated 
vexillum or standard is singularly exposed, so that its 
colours may be seen to the best advantage, and almost 
every branch bears a head of them.
