quite entire, or only obsoletely emarginate, but naturally 
the sides are folded together, only opening a little near the 
upper extremity, streaked, broad-seymitar-shaped. Ale 
and Carina very minute and entirely concealed by the base 
of the vexillum. Stamens diadelphous 3 : filamenis scarlet 
towards the extremity.. Anthers incumbent, scarcely ex- 
serted. Germen linear. Style a little longer than the 
stamens. 
This beautiful shrub is a native of southern Africa, and 
flowered for the first time, we believe, in this country in 
the Count pg Vannes stove in July last, where our drawing 
was taken, we have heard that it has also flowered this 
summer at Wormleybury. No figure, has to our knowledge, 
been hitherto published of this very beautiful species.
