This fpecies is nearly related to Dillwynia glaberri0 

 (fee above, No. 944) ; from which it efpecially differs in having 

 fhort and lefs ered branches : leaves fmaller, more fpreadmg 

 and arranged in four regular rows ; flowers fmaller with tw° 

 trades on each peduncle; and a globular, not a truncated* 

 fligma. 



We believe no account has been before published or w| 

 plant, which makes a beautiful little fhrub, having A cXl . e 

 branches and numerous bloffoms', and is worthy a place 1 

 any greenhoufe. 



Native of New- Holland. Communicated by MelTrs. ho* 

 dices and Sons, by whom we conclude it was firft raifed 1 

 this country, as we find no mention made of it in the o e 

 edition of the Hortus Kewenfis. 



Flowers in June and July.
