YELLOW-HAIRED ANIGOZANTHUS. II Flower, lYinch « in 1808 > flowers May t0 Sept, green. 
Anigozanthus, see No. 3. Excepting its anthers, this flower is entirely green, 
its curious structure, however, and unobtrusive growth, will recommend it to cul- 
tivation in the absence of more gaiety of character. bot. reg. 37.
