lamina bearded with longer brown hairs, concave inwards. Sfa- 
mens 4, inserted in the hollow parts of the lamina. Style smooth 
and glossy, tapering upwards. Stigma capitate, of a bright green, 
smooth and glossy. 
This fine and very distinct species has now produced its sin- 
gular flowers for the first time in Europe, in the superb collec- 
tion of the Comtesse de Vandes’, at Bayswater, who procured 
it from the collection of Mr. Mackay, at Clapton, it being one of 
the new plants discovered on the South Coast of New Holland, 
by Mr. W. Baxter, formerly Gardener at the Comtesse de Vandes’ 
establishment, who transmitted the seeds to the Clapton Nur- 
sery; the appropriate name that we have adopted was given it 
by Mr. Baxter, from its great resemblance to some species of 
DRYANDRA. 
Like the other species of this genus, the present succeeds well 
in an equal mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and sand, the pots 
to be well drained with potsherds, that the wet may pass off 
readily, as nothing is more injurious to this natural order of 
plants, than to be sodden with too much wet. Ripened cuttings, 
taken off at a joint and planted in sand, under a hand-glass, in a 
cool situation, will strike root readily. 
Our drawing was made last month, from a plant in the col- 
lection of the Comtesse de Vandes’, at Bayswater.
