leaflets,-which gradually diminish in size as they approach 
the extremity of the petiole; J. angulata has leaves of 
from two to four, or rarely five pairs of leaflets, which are 
equal in size. The former has the leaves, petioles, rachis, 
and calyx, covered with close down; the latter has the same 
parts smooth. The flowering branches of J. australis are 
‘very slightly angular; those of J. angulata are strongly so. 
The leaflets of the first are much disposed to taper towards 
the base; those of the second are generally narrowed 
towards the apex, if they depart at all from their oblong 
figure. The latter is a far more robust plant than the 
former. 
Communicated in April last, by Mr. Whitley, of the 
Fulham Nursery, where it had been raised from New 
Holland seeds, received, with many other things, from 
Mr. Joseph Thomas. We have specimens collected in the 
interior of New Holland, which differ from the garden 
plant only in their leaves being rather narrower. 
_ A handsome green-house shrub, strongly stained with 
purple, especially in the stems, which are deeply angular. 
Leaves pinnated of two or four pairs, smooth, with oblong 
- or obovate leaflets, which are stalked, and usually emar- 
ginate. Racemes many-flowered, a very little longer than 
the leaves, nearly smooth both on the rachis, pedicels, and 
calyxes, which are purple.. Bracte@ minute, much shorter 
than pedicels. Calyr truncate, obsoletely 5-toothed. 
Flowers lurid purple. Vewtllum rounded, emarginate, with 
a darker horseshoe-like mark at the base. Sty/e reflexed, 
round, and capitate, stigma smooth.
