A very pretty shrub, perfectly distinct from all other spe- — 
cies I have hitherto seen. From P. Kraussiana, with which | 4 
it has some resemblance, it differs by more diverging branches, — 
shorter stipules (scarcely 1 line long) and folioles rarely ate — 
taining, and never exceeding, 3 lines in length; the latter 4 
differ also in form, being not trigonous, but folded on their — 
middle nerve, truly cuneate, broadest at the top, (2-4 lines) 
which is not attenuated but rounded, truncate or almost — 
emarginate, and abruptly pointed with a recurved mucro. — 
The flowers, moreover, are a little larger, more numerous, and 
they form true, though very short, corymbiform racemes, the 
inferior pedicels growing gradually longer and attaining the E 
length of 4-5 lines, whereas in P. Kraussiana they afe — 
scarcely half so long and the uppermost flowers are almost ses- - : 
sile. Finally, the calyx has broader lobes, the lowest of which : 
is manifestly longer than the others. Lateral and inferior — 
lobes of the calyx broad, ovate, acuminate, the latter compli- 
cated, upper lip shortly bifid. The colour of the corolla and — 
 ealyx, and the glandular punctuation of the plant are the — 
same as in the species above mentioned. a
