Waitzia grandiflora, Naudin. Half-hardy everlasting or "immortelle," annual, exceeding 18 in. height: lvs. lanceolate, long-acuminate, sessile, green above, slightly villous beneath, prominent midrib beneath: fls. yellow, in terminal corymbs; clusters about 5 in. across, and heads 2 in. across, the showy part being the involucral bracts, which are arranged in 4 or 5 series, and are petal-like in character but of stiffer texture than ordinary petals. F. 1865:41, where it was originally described.—Probably the most desirable of the genus. It seems to have replaced W. aurea, Steetz, the favorite of a former generation, being larger-fld., more robust, and rather easier of cult.
