both hairy, terminated by the rather short style: about 
six-seeded. 
This plant likewise, as well as the P. obtusangulum, was 
received from Dr. Scorr, from Yan Dieman’s Land, at the 
Glasgow Botanic Garden, and Mr. Murray, the able and 
zealous Curator of that establishment, at once recognized it 
as a species quite distinct both from the subject of the pre- 
ceding plate and from the P. triangulare of Dr. Sims ; and 
I am desirous that it should bear hisname. It bears a great 
number of flowers, which expand their vivid petals during 
the day, closing as the evening approaches.
