XXX VI APPENDIX. 



which is at all beautiful when in flower ; the jjrickly and 

 singularly formed leaves of some of them, especially of H, 

 cristata, glabella, undulata, and triformis^^^ give them a neat 

 but strange appearance. 



Few of the Grevilleas, of which there are many species, 

 are of much beauty ; G. Thielemanniana, lately introduced 

 by Baron Hugel, is however a magnificent plant, with large 

 clusters of rich crimson flowers ; G. bipi7inatijida and querci- 

 folia are striking species ; G. brachyantha,^^^ a plant related 

 to the last-mentioned species, seems to have purple flowers ; 

 and G. erlostachya,^^^ nearly allied to G. conchina, with spikes 

 from five to six inches long, and yellowish linear leaves, is an 

 object of considerable beauty. 



Of Adenanthos, whose only beauty is in the leaves, 

 which almost hide the flowers, A. sericea and A. barbigera^^^ 

 are met with in the Colony. In the latter, and also in A.
