in its pointed anthers. It was raised last year at the 
Nursery of Messrs. Colvill, from seeds collected and 
brought home by Mr. John Richardson, with a great 
quantity of other curious seeds from New Zealand and 
New Holland. We have determined it to be the G. 
pilosum from fine specimens preserved in the Banksian 
Herbarium, from which the species was first named by 
Forster. In the same Herbarium is another species 
nearly related; likewise one from New Holland, which 
is also very similar. From its appearance we suspect it 
will prove to be hardy, or at any rate to require no- 
thing but a frame to protect it in severe frost. We 
believe it will prove to be perennial, but that remains 
to be ascertained. It is a neat little species, and con- 
tinues to flower abundantly; its seeds also ripen 
plentifully, so that it may be easily preserved. It 
thrives well with us in a mixture of sandy loam and 
peat ; and if kept in the greenhouse, it requires a light 
airy situation. ^
