] I have delineated it under the name of anigozanthos.

Its flowers have no calix.

The corolla has the form of a tube, the edges of which are divided into six unequal parts recurvated inwards. It is covered with reddish pili.

The stamina, which are six in number, are inserted under the divisions of the corolla, which is placed upon the ovarium.

The style is simple, as well as the stigma.

The capsule is nearly spherical, and of the same colour with the flower by which it is surmounted. It has three cells filled with a great number of angular seeds.

The top of the stalk is covered with reddish pili, like the flowers.

I have denominated this species anigozanthos rufa.
