description of any recorded species of Dracana ; it differs 
: 
‘ 
from australis in having a compound lateral, not a supra- 
decompound terminal raceme ; and if compared with the 
young plants of Australis, in Messrs. Loppiers and Soy’s _ 
collection, the leaves are less rigid ; in the latter, the leaves 
are not at all recurved, are smooth at the margin, and of 
a paler, yellower green ; in other respects the foliage of 
both is much alike. We at first thought it might be the 
indivisa of Forsrer ; but on comparing it with the sketch of 
that plant, by the author, preserved in Mr. Brown’s library, 
we find it bears very little resemblance to it. 
Our drawing and description were taken at Mr. Brookes’s 
Nursery, at Ball’s Pond, where it flowered in the stove, in 
March last, but we could not learn with certainty its native 
country ; supposed, however, to be New Zealand, or New 
Holland.
