 drio membranaceo-marginato, anthera bigibbosa. 



A small Demerara plant, with narrow leaves, and pale 

 yellow-ochre-coloured flowers. It is next D. gi'aminoides, 

 which differs in having smaller flowers with very short 

 peduncles, and both shorter and flatter leaves. Messrs. 

 Loddiges obtained it from Demerara. 



72. GREVILLEA Thelemaniana\ foliis trifido-pinnatiiidis, laciniis linearibus 

 subtus bisulcatis submucronatis junioribus appresse subpubescentibus,racemo 

 denso. Hugel in lilt. 



A beautiful Ivew Holland shrub, with numerous racemes 

 of crimson flowers, and narrow pinnatifid leaves. It has 

 recently been raised at Vienna by Baron Hugel, to whom I 

 am indebted for a knowledge of this and several other rare 

 species now existing in his very valuable collection. It 

 belongs to Brown's section of Grevillea proper. 



73. CONOSTYLIS juncea ; perigonio intus glabro, scapis indivisis capitulo 

 vix longioribus, foliis teretiusculis Jaevibus. Hugel in lift. 



A rigid herbaceous plant, with leaves from six inches to 

 a foot long, at the base of which grow heads of campa- 

 nulate erect flowers. The tube of the perianth is yellowish 

 green, covered with harsh hairs ; the limb is divided into 

 six, equal, acuminate segments, deep yellow at the base, 

 whitish at the point, the stamens are six, and inserted equally 

 into the throat of the perianth. It is a pretty greenhouse 

 herbaceous plant, found on the south coast of New Holland 

 by Baron Hugel, and raised at Vienna, where it has flowered. 



74. ACACIA cuneata. Benth. in Hugel's enumeratio, p. 42. 



This plant, from the Swan River, has been raised at 

 Vienna by Baron Hugel. It appears, from a drawing that 

 has been sent me, to have glaucous wedge-shaped truncated 

 phyllodia, and solitary yellow capitula, whose peduncle is 

 nearly half the length of the leaf. It does not entirely agree 

 with the definition given by Mr. Bentham, in the work above 

 quoted, both the angles of the phyllodia being tipped with a 

 spine, the midrib forking above the middle, each of its arms 

 being directed towards an angle, and the peduncles being
