An unpublished species found by Mr. Cunningham in 
the interior of New Holland; and raised in this country 
from seed sent home by that indefatigable and intelli- 
gent collector. The drawing was taken from a plant that 
flowered this winter in the conservatory of Comtesse de 
Vandes, at Bayswater; the first, we believe, that has blos- 
somed here. 
A-stout upright soft furred shrub of a cinereous or grey- 
ish green hue, and of which we cannot conjecture the sta- 
ture it may hereafter acquire; divaricately branched at the
