FINGER FLOWER, OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 
rishes in sandy or gravelly soil ; and is in full 
bloom about September, when the flowers 
emit a most agreeable odour. 
If this last circumstance, added to the not 
very dissimilar form of the flower, should in- 
cline som.e botanists to consider it as alh'ed to 
the Hyacinth, we shall not be disposed to 
enter any violent protest against it's claim of 
kindred with even that elevated family. 
The different species of the Digitalis are 
well known to possess verr strong medicinal 
powers ; but we arc vet to learn, whether t]:ie 
Finger Flower participates in these salutary 
Qualities, having been unable to obtain any 
^atisfa^toiT answer to our enquiries on that 
subjed.
