628 BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 
the species which Dr. Lindley calls Manglesii, and its beauti- 
ful varieties of purple and green; if it be our large species, 
the latifolia of Frazer, then the dwarf green Anigozanthus 
and the Green Swamp one are very distinct from it. Dr. 
Lindley’s A. humilis is my early orange species, of which I 
have already described to you several varieties ; and my dwarf 
green and crimson is the 4. Moorii of Preiss, nearly agreeing 
with the Green Swamp Anigozanthus in the form of its foliage, 
but with a less glaucous hue, and indeed the two species are 
quite distinct. The 4. Moorii of Preiss has a wide range, 
and is common in the best description of pasture land, from 
the Swan River to Mount Parker; I have seen it for 300 
miles north and south. Mr. Arnott is quite correct in uniting 
the Sarotes latifolia with blue or lilac flowers, which grows to 
the west of the Darling range, with the beautiful rose-coloured 
variety No. 121. But I do not think him so right, in com- 
bining also the small white one, (No. 122,) that plant having 
quite a different habit, creeping roots, and only growing from 
6 to 9 inches high, while No. 121 attains a height of 3 feet, 
and never has creeping roots. I observe that Dr. Lindley 
considers both my single-flowered Drakeas as identical, and 
calls the species elastica; but they are perfectly distinct. 
I have named them D. lividu and D. lucida, and can discri- 
minate them at first sight, and as far off as the plants are dis- 
cernible, with unfailing certainty, when in the growing state, 
though even I am puzzled to detect the difference when 
they are dried. Drakea livida has a dull green somewhat . 
glaucous leaf, with a red margin; and D. lucida a bright 
shining yellowish-green leaf, and it flowers a month later; 
there is also a difference in the form of the moveable portion 
of the lowerlip. No. 120 is a curious plant, which appears 
to me parasitical on the roots of Eucalyptus; I cannot dis- 
cover the nature of its fructification. No. 100 is nearly 
allied to Calandrinia or Arenaria, having remarkable tuberous 
roots and heart-shaped succulent leaves, which come up and 
exhibit a star-like appearance as they lie flat on the 
ground in the wet season. Before the plant produces its
