Tas. 294,—1, single flower, magnified.— J. G. B. 
For an opportunity of figuring this interesting species of 
Calliandra I am indebted to the national establishment at Kew, 
where, in the stove, it forms a shrub with many branches, and 
when in flower has an elegant appearance, the ball-like pale 
cream-coloured flowers contrasting well with the dark pinnated 
foliage.—W. W. S.
