A neat greenhouse shrub, native of King George's 

 Sound, in New Holland, where it was found, in 1824, by- 

 Mr. William Baxter. Our drawing was made in Mr. 

 Low's Nursery, at Clapton, in March last. 



It is intermediate, as it were, between P. sylvestris and 

 P. humilis, differing from the former in its silky calyx with 

 a cylindrical tube, and from the latter in its acute leaves, 

 of which the floral ones are smooth inside. 



It succeeds well in a mixture of light sandy loam and 

 peat, and increases readily by cuttings. 



A shrub, with taper, pale green, smooth branches. 

 Leaves small, lanceolate, acute at each end, sessile, rather 

 longer than the internodia, the uppermost of the same form
