connected, afterwards split up to the bend. Stamens 4, inserted 
in the hollow points of the laciniee : anthers two-lobed: pollen 
straw-coloured. Ovarium sessile, densely clothed with long 
white hairs. Style purple, densely hairy, at first bent like a bow, 
until the stigma is fertilized by the pollen, which then becomes 
loosened and ascends. Stigma bent a little backward, oblique, 
depressed, convex in the centre, of a glossy green colour, in- 
closed in the hollow points of the perianthium until the anthers 
burst and discharge their pollen, which then makes more room 
and sets it at liberty. 
The present pretty plant is a native of the neighbourhood of 
Sydney in New South Wales, and has been frequently intro- 
duced to our collections, but has never become very common, 
as itis rather more tender than some of the other species. It is 
nearly related to G. acuminata, but the leaves in that species 
are taper-pointed, instead of being blunt, besides other distinc- 
tions; that is also a much more free growing plant than the 
present. 
Our drawing was made at the Nursery of Mr. Colvill, in the 
King’s-road, Chelsea, last Summer, where we observed it in 
bloom at various times, from April to August. It requires the 
protection of a good Greenhouse in Winter, and thrives best in 
a mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and sand, the greater por- 
tion being of sandy peat. Ripened cuttings, taken off at a joint, 
and planted in sand under hand-glasses, strike root freely.
