_ We have received specimens of this plant from New 
Holland, at several different times, under the name here 
adopted. We do not find it published in any work at 
hand; but it is possibly a name of Mr. Cunningham’s, on 
which account we retain it, although its application is 
not very apparent. 
Native of New Holland. It flowers in the greenhouse 
in August and September. Our drawing was made at 
Mr. Colvill’s Nursery, some years since. 
A shrub 6 or 6 feet high, with virgate, angular branches. 
Phyllodia lanceolate, acuminate at each end, with a thick- 
ened margin, either falcate or straight, the lower leaves 
haying usually the former figure, those next the flowers
