of New South Wales, where, however, I never could meet 
with it, and whence I infer that it has a very limited range in 
its native country. Mr. Brown considers it to be very 
closely allied to his G. canescens, figured in Bot. Mag. t. 
3185.” 
So closely indeed is this allied to G. canescens, that, in 
most particulars, the description of one will suffice for that 
of the other. The perianth, however, is differently formed, 
and of a different colour; for whereas in A. canescens it is 
of a greenish hue, almost of the same tint as the leaves, and 
the segments much acuminated ; here the colour is a dull or 
lurid purple, and the segments are simply acute, or almost 
obtuse, by no means acuminated.
