In the Lambertian Herbarium, I had ascertained this to 
be a species distinct from P. maculata ; and on examining 
the genus in the Banksian Herbarium, I was glad to find 
it confirmed as such, by its being previously determined 
and named by Mr Brown. 
It certainly has a striking resemblance to P. maculata^ 
and without careful examination might readily be over- 
looked for that species. The plant, however, is much 
smaller. The leaves are somewhat acute at the base, never 
©potted on the upper surface, and often alternate, — a cir- 
cumstance which I have never remarked in maculata* The 
peduncles are much slenderer and shorter, quite smooth, 
never bearing more than two flowers. The laciniae of the 
calyx are oblong-ovate, acute, quite smooth, as well as the 
pedicels. The bractese are very different from those of 
maculata^ being broad and round. The petals aie oval. 
The appendage of the filaments is not so hairy. The 
tubular pores of the antherae have a straight margin, never 
revolute as in P. umhellata and maculata. The style is 
much longer, and somewhat elongated from the germen. 
The stigma is smaller, and hemispherical
