Sir
As we are in some doubt about the right name of the enclosed, will you be kind enough
to put us right?
The plant has for many years been labelled in the Gardens — "
" but as that name does not appear in the Census of Australian plants I presume it
is incorrect. It is a very free growing compact plant and blossoms throughout the
summer.
