rounded, of a light orange colour, with i yellow spot at the base, 
encircled by a darker ring, Ale or wings broadly spathulate, 
slightly eared near the base, dark copper-coloured. Keel much 
shorter than the wings, ventricose, obtuse, notched at the point, 
pale straw-coloured, slightly eared above the unguis. Stamens 
10, distinct: filaments smooth, ascending, unequal in length, 
attached to the back of the anthers, which are two-lobed: pol- 
len pale yellow. Ovarium slightly pedicled, sericeous. Style 
short, smooth, uncinate. Séigma oblique, blunt. Pod large, in- 
flated, reticulately veined and clothed with close-pressed hairs ; 
the one that we examined contained twenty-four seeds, which 
are kidney-shaped, smooth, and glossy. 
This beautiful little plant is a native of the south-west coast 
of New Holland; the plants from which our drawing was made 
were raised at the Nursery of Mr. Mackay, from seeds sent home 
by Mr. W. Baxter; the plants first produced a few flowers in 
the Autumn of 1826, and began flowering again in April last, 
and continued to bloom the greater part of the Summer, and ri- 
pened their seeds ; they require the protection of a good Green- 
house in Winter, or their young shoots are liable to be killed 
with the damp or too much cold. The best situation for this 
species in Winter is on an airy shelf, where it will make a hand- 
some appearance in Spring, with its branches hanging down in 
full bloom. A light sandy soil suits it best, or an equal mixture 
of turfy loam, peat, and sand,.is a very proper compost for it ; 
and it will require but little room, as a small pot will suit it best, 
so that it will be a desirable Greenhouse plant, and may be in- 
creased from seeds, which appear to ripen plentifully. 
The generic name was given by M. Labillardiere, and is de- 
rived from yopo¢ a dance, and Zywa a punishment or injury, the 
leaves of the species known to him being spiny, which would oc- 
casion pain or inconvenience to the naked footed dancers of that 
country.
