THIS is the third variety of Long-leaved Protea, as mentioned p. and equally fcarce with the
preceding ones. It was raifed from feed at the fame time with the other two, which were received
by MefTrs. Lee and Kennedy, Hammerfmith, from the superintendant of the Imperial Gardens at
Schonbrun. This variety, at prefent, is in no colleftion, that we know of, in England, but that of
G. Hibbert, Efq. where our drawing was made, in the month of January 1801. The fame unfortunate
charafiter attaches to this, as to the other varieties, from the great difficulty of increafiug it;
although, it fiouriflies in growth, if planted in a light, loamy foil.
