Not having seen the present plant in a living state, I will 
hot venture to state any particulars respecting it, further 
than that the plant was sent from New South Wales in 1823, 
by Mr. Cunninenam, to the Royal Gardens at Kew, where 
it flowered in December, 1825. The beautiful drawing 
from which the accompanying engraving was made, was 
indly communicated by Wizt1am Townsenp Arron, Esq. 
and marked ‘* Denprosium emulum” of Brown. — 
——— 
* From dedpov, a tree, and Sus, life: from the circumstance of the plants 
that name, living for the most part in the trunks of trees.
