hairy. Style smooth, pale red. Stigmas 5, red, re- 
flexed. 
This neat little species is a native of New South 
Wales, and has been introduced to this country ever 
since the year 1792, though at present it is far from 
being a common plant in our collections. We have 
seen two other slight varieties of it; but these only 
vary a little in the colour of the flowers, one of them 
being white, and not so much marked as the present, 
consequently not so desirable; the other is of a pretty 
pink or pale rose colour, which we have only seen in 
the collection of Robert H. Jenkinson, Esq. 
Our drawing was taken at the nursery of Messi-s. 
Colvill and Son, where it began to flower early in 
spring, and continued to blossom till late in autumn. 
An equal mixture of sandy loam and peat is the best 
soil for it, watering it but sparingly in winter. Cut- 
tings root freely, planted in pots and placed in the 
greenhouse ; but the readiest way to increase it, is by 
seeds, which are produced in abundance, if a little 
pollen be shaken on the stigmas when in bloom.
