This pretty plant was raised at the nursery of Messrs. 
Colvill in the King’s Road, from seed imported from New 
Holland, where the species was observed by Mr. Browmin 
the vicinity of Port Jackson. It is one of the only two re- 
corded ones that belong to the under-shrubby section of this 
rather numerous genus; and is distinguished from frutico- 
sum, already known in our collections, by a subulately 
linear sessile foliage, naked faux, and appendanted label.
