in the bundles much longer than the inner, all armed with a 

 very sharp pungent mucro. Flowers large, yellow stained 

 with red ; vexillum much larger than the alae and carina, 

 villous on the outside. 



The Cham^larix of Breynils appears to us to be rather 

 a doubtful synonym. The figure we have quoted from Seba's 

 Thesaurus is not a bad representation of our present subject, 

 except that the hairy bractes which should surround the ca- 

 pitula, are omitted. But the two figures quoted by Bergius, 

 though said by him to be good, certainly do not belong to 

 our plant, but seem to be representations of Phylica plumosa. 

 Linnaeus has quoted one of the same figures in the species 

 Plantarum, but that quotation is probably a mere typograph- 

 ical error of 23 instead of 24, repeated by Willdenow, Per- 

 soon, and others. 



It is a plant of rare occurrence in our collections, though 

 supposed to have been cultivated by Philip Miller in 1759- 

 Communicated to us by Messrs. Loddiges and Sons last 

 July.
