This fine plant was sent to Spofibrth by the Rev. J. Clowes. 

 It appears amongst Gardner's specimens as H. psittacinum, 

 to which it approximates in colour, but psittacinum has a 

 strong screen and the upper sepal depressed. Mr. Clausen's 

 H . kermesinum, from one of the highest of the Organ mountains, 

 and psittacinum itself may however perhaps range together as 

 varieties of one species. Organense aulicum is very different 

 in foliage and habit, in the green base of the flower not 

 radiating, and its lower petal embracing the filaments. W.H.

This is a pretty greenhouse shrub, raised by R. Mangles, 

 Esq. of Sunning Hill, from Swan River seeds obtained by 

 Capt. James Mangles. It has narrow leaves, brown under- 

 neath, and short axillary racemes of pale purple flowers. It 

 seems nearly allied to H. ramulosa of Cunningham. 



37. ISOPOGON roseus. 



I. roseus ; ramis tomentosis, foliis glabris long^ petiolatis 3-partitis, foliolis 

 cuneatis lateralibus 3-4-fidis intermedio latiore .5-fido lobis mucronatis, 

 strobilis ovatis sessilibus tomentosis, calycibus glaberrimis elongatis apice 

 villosis.
