RHODANTHE MANGLESII. 
Mang-les, R.N., who brought the seed from the Swan River colony, New Holland, 
to the gardens of Robert Mangles, Esq., Sunning Hill. " The genus," says Dr 
Hooker, " seems to be very nearly related to Podolepis, but differs in the involucre ; " 
our drawing was made about June last, from a plant which flowered in the green- 
house at Chats worth. 
The generic name was given by Dr. Lindley, in allusion to the likeness of the 
flower in shape and colour to that of the rose. 
The specific name by the same author is given in compliment to the gentleman 
who introduced it.
