For a fine specimen of this., likewise accompanied by a 

 drawing", I am indebted to W. T. Aiton, Esq. It was re- 

 ceived at Kew from Francis Henchman, Esq. in 1824 : the 

 seeds having a short time previously been gathered, on the 

 South -Western Shores of New Holland., between Cape 

 Arid and Lucky Bay, by Mr. Baxter. 



It is nearly allied to B. marcescens, (already figured at 

 Tab. 2803 of the present work) between which and B. 

 attenuata it is placed by Mr. Brown. At Kew Gardens its 

 flowering season is August.
