Thomas) Mitchell in his celebrated exploration of what is now 

 the sister colony, and was described by Lindley. Our New South 

 Wales specimens came from Albury, and were communicated by 

 Mr. T. C. Burnell in August last. The flowers of our N.S.W. 

 specimens are orange-red, merging into yellow in the upper half 

 (" brownish-red," Mitchell), and nearly glabrous outside, as figured 

 in Bot. Mag. t. 5007, and not villous outside as described by 

 Bentham. Nevertheless Lindley's type specimens already 

 referred to have villous flowers, and are somewhat difierent in 

 general appearance from the Albury specimens. It might be a 

 matter for further investigation to ascertain to what extent the 

 species is variable before proceeding to name a variety. The 

 species itself is readily recognised by the remarkably long 

 hypogynous gland which projects almost horizontally into the 

 gibbosity of the coi'olla (perianth).
