Native of the south-west coast of New Holland; where 
it was first observed by Mr, Brown. Introduced in 1803 by 
Mr. Peter Good. 
The drawing was taken from a plant which flowered 
in the greenhouse, at Mr. Colville’s nursery in the King’s 
Road, Chelsea, 
The only species, yet found in New Holland, which has 
a winged stalk. We know of no representation of it before 
the one now published. 
Distinguished from its congeners by a two-edged winged 
stem, decurrent one-nerved Jeaves terminated by a small 
prickle and having a single gland-bearing tooth at their 
inner margin, by prickly stipules and stalked flower-heads, 
which are mostly solitary.
