a weather-beaten shore, or stations in the stony back grounds 

 equally within the influence of the sea air." Eremicola has been 

 raised in the Kew collection, from seeds gathered, in 1822, in 

 the neighbourhood of Bathurst. It has been distributed from 

 the Y^ew collection into other collections. From Kew, " by the 

 liberality of Mr. Alton, specimens in flower were sent" to Dr. 

 Hooker, " in October," 1834. Eremicola, " during the winter 

 season, requires but the protection of a frame or pit ; at other 

 periods of the year it thrives well in the open air, and produces 

 a succession of flowers between the months of spring and au- 

 tumn." {Bot. Mag., Oct.)

 dull greenish purple, the petals and lip yellow, the latter speckled 



with dull purplish red Our description is taken from a
