This pretty species of Epacris was discovered by Laxit- 
LARDIERE in Van Dieman’s Land, where Mr. Brown also 
gathered it. But it is not confined to that country. Our 
friend Mr. Arran Cunnincuam found it in moist, rocky situ- 
ations in the Blue Mountains of New Holland, whence he 
introduced it to the Royal Gardens at Kew in 1823. It 
flowers in the month of May, and was obligingly commu- 
nicated by W. T. Arron, Esq.
