very sweet-scented flowers, a native of Para, whence it was 

 obtained by Mr. Barker. There are two dull yellow spots 

 near the base of each petal; otherwise the flower is unspotted. 

 It is very near N. Barkeri, from which it differs in the form 

 of the labellum, which has no callus at the base ; in this 

 species the labellum is falcate, convex, taper-pointed, with the 

 base bent considerably downwards on each side. 



78. STYLIDIUM proUferum. DeCand. Prodr. vii. 783. 



A curious little Swan River herbaceous plant, with red 

 branching stems and small pink flowers, very pretty when in 

 perfection. It has been raised by Messrs. Veitch and Son of 

 Exeter. Apparently it is only annual. 



79. STYLIDIUM pilosum. Labill. nov. Loll. 2. 63. t. 213. 



This fine species has much the appearance of a broad- 

 leaved Armeria, until it flowers, when it throws up a simple 

 panicle of very pale pink flowers, as large as those of a Les- 

 chenaultia. It is exceedingly pretty while in perfection, but it 

 soon goes off. It is a Swan River plant, and was exhibited with 

 the last before the Horticultural Society by Messrs.Veitch&Co. 

 of Exeter, to whom a medal was awarded on the occasion. 



80. OXYLOBIUM capitatum. Bentham in Hugel's Enumeratio, p. 28. 



A pretty little greenhouse shrub, from Swan River, raised 

 by Robert Mangles, Esq. It has narrow opposite leaves, 

 silky underneath, and short-stalked heads of yellow and brown 

 flowers. It is not of much horticultural importance. 



81. ZICHYA villosa; foliis ovatis acutis subtus pallidis ramisque villosis, la- 



ciniis calycinis tubo brevioribus, carina alis sequali, stylo apice simplici, 

 corymbis densis capitatis multifloris longi pedunculatis. 



A quite new species of that division of the old genus 

 Kennedya, to which the name of Zichya is now applied, and 

 certainly prettier than any of them. The leaflets are much 

 smaller than in Z. inophylla, ovate, sharp-pointed, and covered 

 with long soft hairs as well as the branches. The flowers are 

 small,' but of a brilliant vermilion tinged with violet. Mr. 

 Standish of Bagshot has sent specimens for examination. It 

 is from the Swan.
