is a pair of linear subulate bractez, one on each side of the 
calyx, and inserted on the tubular part. Vexillum obcor- 
date, and, as well as the ale, bright yellow. Carina rather 
shorter than the ale, reddish, deeper within. Stamens 10, 
free: Germen ovate, hairy, vrudthlly tapering into an 
adscendent, glabrous style: Stigma a small, rather acute 
int. : 
The seeds of this species of Putrenza were sent with 
many others from New Holland by Mr. Fraser, the govern- 
ment Botanist in that Colony. It is distinguished from all 
the others of the Genus by its pedunculated flowers, and 
especially from the Purrenza tenuifolia of Mr. Brown in 
Bot. Mag. t. 2086, which is unquestionably a nearly-allied 
species. But the latter has, besides the sessile flowers, much 
narrower (linear-subulate) leaves, covered with long and 
spreading hairs, the upper side being concave, the lower 
convex.. The branches and calyces are likewise clothed 
with soft hairs. lie 3 
Its flowering season with us, in the greenhouse, is the 
month of May.
