A genus of which we have but one recorded species. 
It was instituted by Mr. Brown, who first observed the 
shrub on the south-west coast of New Holland. 
Introduced in 1803 by Mr. Peter Good. The drawing 
was taken at the nursery of Messrs. Whitley, Brames, and 
Milne, Fulham; where the piant flowers in the greenhouse, 
in the spring and summer. By no means common in our 
collections; nor has it been represented by any figure pre- 
vious to the present. 
Comes near to Puttenma, from which its chief technical 
differences consist in having a calyx with a disproportion- 
ately large upper lip, instead of two proportionate lips; a 
pedicled, instead of a sessile germen; and the hinder lobes 
of the seminal strophiola (a ventral accretion peculiar to 
certain seeds) entire, not carved as there.
