curved. Stigma furnished with a glandular, two-lipped 
appendix. 
Bererus’s accurate description of this plant leaves us 
no doubt but that it is his fruticosa, always quoted as a 
synonym of cordifolia, otherwise the definitions of Wut1- 
DENOW and T'HUNBERG are too imperfect alone to ascertain 
the species; and we do not find-any specimen of P. cordi- 
folia in the Banksian Herbarium. 
It differs from oppositifolia by the erect, not reflexed 
leaves, by the flowers being larger and more collected 
together. The intensity of colour in this and the related 
species varies, especially according to the degree of light 
they are exposed to. 
A greenhouse shrub. Native of the Cape of Good Hope. 
Flowers from March to August. Communicated by Mr. 
JoserH Knicut, of the exotic nursery.
