the unguis, surrounded by a deep purple-coloured ring*. 

 Alee short, convex, deep purple. Carina minute, purple, 

 included in, and concealed by the alae. Stamens all com- 

 bined, the tube cleft above. Anther yellow. Pistil con- 

 cealed by the tube of the stamens. Germen oblongo-ovate, 

 hairy : Style about equal to it in length : Stigma capitate. 

 Legumen oblong, ventricose, very downy, tipped with the 

 style, much longer than the calyx. 



Hovea pannosa, thus named by its indefatigable dis- 

 coverer, Mr. Allan Cunningham, is a native of Mount 

 Stirling, in the country northward from Bathurst, in the 

 interior of New South Wales, and was raised at the Royal 

 Gardens of Kew from seeds, sent in 1823. Mr. Aiton 

 obligingly communicated specimens and the drawing here 

 figured, during the last summer (1830). It is a very ele- 

 gant and ornamental species, its blossoms being beauti- 

 fully coloured, the upper sides of the leaves glossy green, 

 sometimes slightly transversely wrinkled, the underside and 

 the branches thickly covered with a ferruginous tomentum. 

 It approaches to H. linearis, but that species has much 

 narrower leaves and smaller and pale-coloured flowers.
