minute glands on their upper surface. The compound hairs 
are far less conspicuous than in virens, and shorter. 
The Banksian Herbarium contains spontaneous speci- 
mens of the present plant; as well as of rufa of Labil- 
jJardiére from Van Diemen’s Land, which we have subjoined 
as a variety or subspecies; not being able to discover any 
other marks of distinction than those we have stated in dis- 
tinguishing the variety B. | . 
This species was introduced by Sir Joseph Banks in 
1793; and has become very common in our greenhouses; 
being of easy culture, and quickly multiplied by cuttings. 
It blossoms in autumn and winter. 
The drawing was made in the Botanical Garden of 
Comtesse de Vandes at Bayswater, three or four years ago.
