Descr. A low upright shrab with us; but said to have 
reached to six feet high in Paris, with many branches. 
Leaves alternate, elliptical, mucronate, leathery, sometimes 
ferrugineous underneath : petioles short, recurved. Pedun- 
eles axillary, simple, or compound, the latter from 2 to 
4-flowered, scarcely half an inch long are villous, brown. 
Calyx 2-1 ; rough: upper lip , obtuse, emarginate : 
Ses ron yada teeth acute. Bractes 2, minute, close 
to the ‘calyx. Corolla papilionaceous: vexillum 2-lobed, 
patent, violet-coloured with a white spot at the base. Ala 
ca half the le of the vexillum. Carina still smaller, 
with distinct petals. Stamens diadelphous, according to our 
observation, but described in the generic character as being 
all connected. Germen pedicellated: ovula 2. 
This species differs from the one we have before figured at 
No. 1624, in having broader leaves and larger ene. me 
more especially, by these not growing in pairs, but seve 
together from oe vane axil, on much longer peduncles. 
Like all the known species it is a native of New Holland ; 
from whence it was first brought to Europe by Captain Bav- 
DIN, on his return from the expedition to that country. ‘.
