Hab. Middle and upper regions of Mount Wellington. Mr. 

 James Backhouse : discovered, October, 1834. Mr. Gunn 

 {n. 557). 



An extremely beautiful species, and rendered doubly interest- 

 ing from being distinguished in the first botanical production 

 that has issued from the native press of the rising colony of Van 

 Diemen's Land : and from which some extracts are given in the 

 2d volume of our " Companion to the Botanical Magazine,''/^. 38. 

 In this species of Corraa the leaves are unusually large, some of 

 them more than two inches in length ; the flowers are long, 



narrow, yellow-green, the calyx rufous; the stamens much 

 exserted.
