Styphelia Gnidium of Ventenat, also referred by Dr. 

 Brown to L. lanceolatus, has been shewn by Mr. Cunningham 

 to be equally distinct. 



That this is really the Styphelia parviflora we are 

 fortunately enabled to determine by means of an authentic 

 specimen in our possession from the late Mr. James Donn's 

 Herbarium. 



For the specimens from which our drawing was made 

 we are indebted to Mr. Lowe, of the Clapton Nursery, who 

 raised them from New Holland seeds. It is a neat green- 

 house plant, flowering in May. 



The species varies very much in the breadth of the 

 leaves ; some of which are not more than two lines in 

 breadth, while others are as much as four. The two sprigs 

 in our Plate are different in this respect. 



Fig. 1 is a magnified view of a flower, shewing the bearded seg- 

 ments of the corolla.
