THIS showy species is a native of New Holland, and was raised from seed by Mr. &ibbs> last year, in
his nursery at Bromptou, and is not as yet, we believe, in any other collection.
It may not be improper to observe, that the calyx of this species appears a little bilabiate, and the
germea two-seeded, although one of the seeds in the fruils we have examined was always abortive.
