Shaft thread-shaped, shorter, turned upwards from an angle. Summit blunt, bearded transversely on the upper part at the end. SEED-VESSEL. Pod long, tough, one-celled, two-valved terminated by a point. SEEDS many, rather round. SPECIFIC CHARACTER.

The Pointal, natural size. 8. The Chives, magnified, shewn from the front side. 9. A half-ripe Pod. This pretty plant is a native of New Holland, and was first received in seeds from thence under the name of Indigofera coccinea, in the year 1800, by Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, Hammersmith. It grows into a bushy plant, making a number of branches from the root, but is rather a woody than herbaceous plant; yet the branches have all the character of most of the species of this genus. It has not as yet been increased by cuttings, but from every appearance the seeds will ripen in this country; and there is little doubt but the roots may be divided with safety. It flourishes in a mixture of sandy peat and loam. Our figure was taken from a plant in the Collection of Messrs. Colvilies, King’s Road, Chelsea; where it has likewise flowered this present August, 1803. [Illustration] PLATE CCCXX. PULTENÆA ILICIFOLIA. _Holly-leaved Pultenæa._ CLASS X.
