Gen. Char. See Tab. 7.
Spec. Char. E. foliis tripinnatifidis: laciniis decurrentibus acutis, floribus spicatis germinatis pedicellatis.
Leaves tripinnatifid; segments decurrent, acute. Flowers spiked, standing in pairs, on footstalks.
OF this new and very singular species of Embothrium a plant brought from New Holland flowered last summer, for the first time, at Messrs. Grimwood's at Kensington, from which our figure was drawn; the fruit only was taken from native specimens.
The root is perennial, and prefers a light sandy soil. Stems somewhat shrubby, 3 or 4 feet high, erect, but little and alternately branched, round, slightly striated,
leafy.
