Capsule globose, crowned

Flowers white, small, very shortly pedicel-

There is, so far as I have been able to make out, only one species of this genus on the Hills, and that 
does not ascend to the higher ranges. 
About Cooncor and on that level it is very abundant; it also abounds

about Kaitie Falls, where I obtained the specimen here delineated, in February, just coming into flower’ W 
in flower this isa very handsome shrub, each branch terminating ina large panicle of whitish or pale rose 
coloured flowers.
