THIS little shrub from New Holland is both new and beautiful, well adapted to grace any collection,
being of elsy culture, small in size, with abundance of brilliant little flowers growing from the axils
of every leaf. The specimen we have delineated was communicated to us by Mr . J. Milne, from the
Font Hill gardens, in fine bloom, in the month of April 1811.
