ed hairs, are striking characters in this species, which is culti- 
vated in the greenhouse both of the Botanic Gardens of Edin-

of May. The seeds were sent by Mr Fraser from New Hol- 
land, who also sent me native dried specimens, which are not 
above half the size, either in the stems, leaves or flowers, of the 
individual here figured.
