Having neglected to retain any notes or specimens of 
this plant, we are constrained to leave it in the same uncer- 
tain state in which we find it. That it is no Pyrethrum is 
evident; but to what it can be more properly referred, we 
willingly leave to be determined by Mr. Brown, from whom 
alone any useful information respecting the New Holland 
Composite is to be expected. In habit it seems to us 
to border closely upon Calotis. 
.A half-hardy plant, native of New Holland, and flower- 
ing from May to August. By Dr. Hooker it is stated to 
be annual; we believe, however, that it will prove a 
perennial. 
Our drawing was made from a plant growing in a cold © 
frame, in the garden of the Horticultural Society, where it 
had been raised from seeds presented by Mr. C. Frazer, 
in 1825.
