the back of the anthers. Ovariwm pubescent, 5-celled. Style 
smooth, thickening upwards. Stigma capitate, slightly two- 
lobed. 
For the opportunity of giving so fine a figure of this elegant 
plant, we are obliged to Robert Barclay, Esq. of Bury-hill, who 
sent us fine specimens of it in full bloom in July last, and in 
whose collection it was first raised from seed. It is a native of the 
South coast of New Holland, and is a valuable acquisition to 
our Greenhouses, both from its beauty and the delightful fra- 
grance of its flowers. Mr. Brown included it in the genus Dra- 
COPHYLLUM, but made it with two other nearly related species a 
distinct section or subgenus, to which he gave a proper name, 
which we have adopted ; and as they are so very different both 
in habit and character from the true species of DRACOPHYLLUM, 
we have thought it best to give them as a distinct genus. 
The present species requires the same treatment as SPREN- 
GEeLIA and Epacris, to be potted in sandy peat soil, the pots to 
be well drained with potsherds that the wet may pass off readily, 
as nothing is more injurious to them than to be sodden with 
moisture: young cuttings, planted in pots of sand, under a bell- 
glass in Autumn, will strike root readily. 
The generic name is derived from o¢nvow, to connect or bind 
together, and topos, a slice or section.
