yellow. Ovarium densely clothed with long shaggy wool. Style 
smooth, a little longer than the stamens. Stigma capitate, flat- 
tened, very slightly 2-lobed. 
This is certainly a very different species, both from P. fulvum 
and P. revolutum, and we believe there are others still distinct 
in some of the collections about London that belong to this di- 
vision of the genus, and are not yet published; the present spe- 
cies we believe to be the strongest grower of the three, as the 
plant from which our drawing was made was a stout bushy 
shrub, thickly clothed with leaves, which are larger and much 
flatter than either of the others to which it is related, the pani- 
cle of flowers is much larger, and the flowers of a different form ; 
the only collection in which we have yet seen it, is the Comtesse 
de Vandes’, at Bayswater, where our drawing was taken last 
Summer: the specimen represented in our plate is much stron- 
ger than that published by Mons. Bonpland, which is a weak 
specimen; the present plant continued to flower from the mid- 
dle of June until the latter end of July, and each flower con- 
tinues expanded for several days. It thrives well in an equal 
mixture of sandy loam and peat, and only requires protection 
from severe frost. Like P. fulvum, it may be propagated by 
seeds ; or cuttings, planted in pots of sand, and placed under a 
hand-glass, will strike root freely ; or it may be grafted or in- 
arched on some of the other sorts. It is a native of New Hol- 
land, but we are not certain of what part. 
The plant of P. fulvwm, from which our drawing was made 
last Spring, is now again in full flower, and has been ever since 
the beginning of January.
