TRICHINIUM MANGLESI. 
A remarkably pretty and interesting plant, introduced from the Swan River by Mr. W. Thompson, 
of Ipswich, and for which two First Class Certificates were awarded in the spring of 1865. 
It is a greenhouse perennial (belonging to the Amarantads), growing from 1 to li feet in height, 
with somewhat fleshy, spreading, entire foliage, varying in form from lanceolate to spathulate, and 
arranged in a radical tuft, from which arise several branched stems, each of which usually bear two 
or three flower spikes ; these are of an elongated form, and oomposed of olosely-arranged florets of 
a pleasing rosy amaranth colour, and which, except at their tips, are clothed with long white hairs, 
tho contrast of which with the protruding red petal-like segments produces a singular and striking 
effect. 
These flower heads, if cut before they are too far advanced, may be preserved for some weeks, 
and possess, in fact, the rigid texture of the “ Everlastings.” 
Among greenhouse plants the Trichinium Mangiest is altogether unique, and is one of the first 
to catch the eye in a miscellaneous collection. It blooms during the summer and autumn months, 
and lasts a long time in flower.
