transverse cleft, which gives that part still more the appear- 
ance of a bird’s beak, within it is glabrous and dull orange- 
coloured, yellow-green at the swollen base, which is filled

Communicated from the Royal Gardens of Kew, where it 
was introduced by Mr, Attan Cunninenam in 1824, from 
the banks of Coxe’s River and Rocky Hills beyond Bath- 
urst, where that able and zealous Naturalist found it in the 
summer of 1823, bearing both flowers and ripened fruit at 
the same season. Mr. Brown, in the Supplement to his 
Prodromus, notices, under GreviLLEA canescens, the great 
affinity between it and the G. arenaria; in our specimens 
(for both have been obligingly sent from Kew, and will 
appear in this Magazine,) the segment of the perianth is 
much more acuminated in the present species than in G. 
arenaria: in the latter too the colour of the flowers is dingy 
purple.
