hairs, some of the same sort of glands are on the margins of the 
young leaves, which soon wear off. Petioles smooth and glossy, 
more or less tinged with purple, channelled on the upper side, 
and rounded on the lower, producing a large flat gland near the 
base. Stipules cordate, acute, undulate, rather succulent, and 
thickened at the margins. Peduneles numerous, axillary and 
terminal, cylindrical, but furrowed with numerous small furrows, 
from 6 to 10 flowered. Flowers in a sort of corymb, deep gol- 
den yellow. ractes ovately spathulate, concave, succulent, 
with thick margins. Pedicles slender, smooth, slightly angular. 
Calyx of 5 sepals joined at the base, ovate, concave, obtuse, 
unequal in size, the upper one rather largest. Petals 5, more 
or less unequal, the upper one rather largest, all oval, concave 
and rounded, lower ones more or less curved inwards, Sta- 
mens 10, six fertile and four sterile, three of the sterile ones at 
the back and one in front, bearing small anthers without pol- 
len: fertile anthers oblong, with two little holes at the point 
to discharge the pollen. Ovariuwm slightly hairy, falcate or 
ascending. Style short, smooth. Stigma a simple blunt point. 
Our drawing was made from fine specimens kindly sent to 
us in September last, from the collection of Robert Barclay, Esq. 
of Bury-hill; and we are informed by Mr. D, Cameron that it 
was raised from New Holland seeds in 1824, and the plant 
from which the specimen was taken was growing in the open 
border of the Flower-Garden, and was about two feet in height; 
we do not find it any where described ; we have therefore named 
it in compliment to Mr. Barclay, who introduced it, and in 
whose garden we believe it has flowered for the first time in this 
country. Itis a free growing handsome plant, and continues in 
bloom a long time, thriving well in any rich light soil, and only 
wants to be protected from severe frost; it may be increased by 
young cuttings, planted in sand under bell-glasses, or by seeds. 
Cassia of Tournefort is a name of doubtful origin, but is 
most probably derived from Cassis, a headpiece or helmet, the 
upper petal being generally bent over like a helmet.
