FINGER FLOWER, 
OF NEW SOUTH WALESo 
To this elegant flower, which is a produC' 
tion of New South W ales, we have given the 
appellation of the Finger Flower: not that we 
can decidedly pronounce it a species of the 
Fox-Glove, or Digitalis of Linnsus, on a 
bare inspe6lion of the original drawing, which 
is all we know, with certainty, respe6ling the 
form of this' non~descript plant. 
If not of the Fox-Glove family, the flowers 
bear a not very remote resemblance, in shape, 
at least, to tliose of that elegant plant ; suffi- 
ciently justifying us, as we apprehend, ia 
calling it the Finger Flower of New South 
Wales. The flowers are smaller than those of 
the Common European Fox-Glove, but tliey 
are incomparably more beautiful than ar>y 
known species of that handsome plant. 
It is, we are informed, a perennial plant, 
rising to the height of about tlircc feet ; flou- 
rishes
