persisting, teeth acute, erect. Corolla five-petaled, funnel- 
shaped ; claws linear, as long as the calyx, yellowish ;

nated at the apex, pale rose-coloured. Stamens six, une- 
qual, subexserted ; filaments white, flattened ; anthers large, 
incumbent: Germen small, green, ovate, glabrous, unilo-

This plant, a native of New Holland, but I am not in- 
formed of what district, was obligingly communicated to 
the Edinburg Botanic Garden in spring last from Kew, un- 
der the name of Franxenia pauciflora. The decidedly sca- 
brous leaves, branches, and calyx may excite some doubt 
whether it be the plant to which De Canpotze gives that 
name; but of this I know nothing, except from the short 
character in his Prodromus, Our specimen has been kept 
in the greenhouse. Granam.
