Thirty-five species of this genus have been enumerated 
by Mr. Brown; all belonging to New Holland and Van 
Diemen’s Island. Of these only one was observed within 
the tropic. 
The present is of very recent introduction and not of 
the seventeen recorded in the last edition of the Hortus 
Kewensis. It belongs to a small division of the group, 
remarkable for some flat and more cylindrical leaves. 
A greenhouse shrub, with a sweet-smelling blossom. 
The drawing was taken last May at Messrs. Colville’s in the 
King’s Road, Chelsea. 
The following is the character of the genus from Mr. 
Brown’s Pradromus.
