This species grows wild near Port Jackson, and is common in our collections, but very difficult to increase by cuttings, nor does it flower with us so plentifully as some others. Stem villous. Leaves 6 to 9 inches long, linear-lanceolate, deeply and spinulously serrated, hardly cottony underneath. Nerve prominent both above and below. Stigma not much angulated.

Confounded with the preceding by most authors, but the Secretary of the Horticultural Society in his Prodromus observes that they differ, nor has this to my knowledge, been yet introduced. Stem cottony. Leaves 5 to 7 inches long, spatulated-lanceolate, obtusely dentated, hardly cottony underneath. Nerve prominent both above and below. Stigma exceedingly angulated.
