For this beautiful addition to an interesting genus, the 

 public is indebted to Mr. Mackay, of the Clapton Nursery, 

 by whom it was raised from New Holland seeds. 



Rather a prettier plant than S. dentata, figured at fol. 

 1233 of this work, from which it differs principally in the 

 outline of its leaves. Like that species, it is a hardy green- 

 house plant, and worthy of a place in every good collection. 



A twiggy shrub, with rough, minutely warted, filiform 

 branchlets. Leaves linear-oblong, truncate at the base, 

 smooth, with a toothletted, revolute margin, nearly sessile. 

 Flowers solitary, axillary, quite those of S. dentata, but 

 rather smaller. 



Our drawing was made at the Clapton Nursery, in 

 January of the present year.
