blunt ears near the base, not near the length of the slender un- 
guis. Stamens 10, distinct, ascending: filaments unequal in 
length, smooth, shorter than the style: anthers 2-lobed, attach- 
ed by their back to the filaments: pollen pale yellow. Ovarium 
sessile, smooth. Style ascending, hairy on one side. Stigma a 
simple blunt point. 
Our drawing of this handsome and delightfully fragrant spe- 
cies was made in May last, at the Nursery of Messrs. Whitley, 
Brames, and Milne, at Fulham, from a plant that had been 
lately raised from seeds received from Mr. C. Frazer, who col- 
lected them in New South Wales. We have ascertained it to be 
the species described by M. Decandolle, having compared it 
with specimens from Sieber in Mr. Lambert’s Herbarium; we 
also from the description believe it to be the same as described 
by Sir J. E. Smith, in the Transactions of the Linnean Society, 
but it does not agree so well with the description in the Hortus 
Kewensis, which is also named Shining-leaved Pultenza, whereas 
ours is a dull glaucescent leaved plant. 
The present species is certainly a very desirable plant for 
every Greenhouse and Conservatory, both by its handsome bushy 
growth, and its abundance of bloom, which is so exquisitely 
sweet-scented; it is also of free growth, and only requires pro- 
tection from frost, thriving well in an equal portion of light 
sandy loam and peat, and may be increased by seeds, or young 
cuttings planted in pots of sand under bell-glasses, will strike 
root freely. 
The genus was named by Sir J. E. Smith, in honour of 
W. Pulteney, M.D. author of several works on Botany and 
Agriculture.
