A native of the East Coast of New Hol- 

 land, very lately introduced, ft is a small 

 and very delicate plant, growing less than a 

 foot high, producing its large and elegant 

 flowers, of most brilliant golden yellow, in 

 July. 



Like the others of this genus it is not 



easily increased excepting by seeds, which 

 sometimes come to maturity here* 



It requires sandy peat soil, and must be 

 protected in a greenhouse.
