and tapering upwards, the points recurved, inserted in the back 
of the anthers, which are two-lobed: pollen cream-coloured, 
Ovarium pyramidal, smooth, Séyle smooth, longer than the 
stamens. Séigma capitate, fimbriate. 
Our drawing of this handsome species was taken at the 
Nursery of Mr. Mackay, at Clapton, in June last, where a large 
plant of it was entirely covered with its singular and beautiful 
flowers. The plant was presented to Mr. Mackay by Mr. Aiton, 
from His Majesty’s Botanic Garden at Kew, where it was raised 
from seeds sent by Mr. Allan Cunningham, who gathered them 
on the shores of King George’s Sound, in New Holland. It was 
first introduced to the Royal Gardens at Kew, in 1803, from 
the south coast of New Holland; but we believe it was again 
lost from our collections, until introduced afresh by Mr, Cun- 
ningham. It is a soft wooded small Shrub, and is deserving a 
place in every Greenhouse or Conservatory, as it makes a grand 
appearance when covered, as Mr. Mackay’s plant was, with its 
elegant striped yellow flowers. It is a hardy Greenhouse plant, 
and we believe would succeed well in the open ground, by the 
side of a wall facing the south, so as to be protected with a mat 
or some other covering in severe frosty weather, thriving well 
in a light sandy soil, or an equal mixture of light turfy loam, 
peat, and sand, will suit it extremely well; the pots in which 
it is planted to be well drained, that the wet may pass off readily, 
as it is apt to become sodden with too much moisture in Winter. 
It strikes readily from cuttings, planted under bell-glasses, either 
in sand or mould; or if planted under hand-glasses, in the open 
air, in Spring, they will root readily.
