 3 to 5 inches long and appear during April and early May. This is a selection from

 Edwin Ashby, Wittunga, South Australia. A hairy evergreen shrub, with crowded linear 

 flat leaves and short dense clusters of flowers with crimson stamens. It does well

 Blackwood, South Australia. A tender, erect, evergreen shrub from 4 to 6 feet high, 

 with thick, flat, nearly linear leaves 1 to 2 inches long, resembling the calliste- 

 mons, to which it is related. Like the callistemons, the flowers are showy because 

 of their long numerous rich-crimson stamens, and are borne in one-sided spikes. A 

 graceful plant in habit. For trial in the warmest parts of California and the 

 Southwest. (Chico, Calif.)

 froze to the ground at a temperature of 12'' F. For trial in the warmer parts of 

 California and the Southwest. (Chico, Calif.)

 feet high with terete leaves about an inch long, dull green and pubescent. The 

 flowers^ with numerous blood-red stamens, about an inch long, are produced in terminal 

 one-sided spikes. It is said to be tolerant of extreme heat at Chico, California,
