This handsome bushy Shrub is a native of the neighbour-
* hood of Port Jackson, New South Wales, and is well deserving
a place in the Greenhouse, where it makes a fine appearance in
February and March, when covered with its elegant spikes of
sweet-scented white flowers ; it is a hardy Greenhouse Shrub,
only requiring protection from frost, and thriving well in a
mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and sand, with the pots well
drained at the bottom, that the wet may pass off readily: young
cuttings, planted in pots of sand, under bell-glasses, strike root
freely; as soon as rooted, they will require to be potted off singly,
in small pots, and to be protected under frames or a handglass
for a few days, until they have begun to root afresh; they
must then be hardened to the air by degrees.
Our drawing was made from a plant covered with flowers,
at the Nursery of Mr. Mackay, at Clapton, last Spring, and
we observed it in full bloom again in February and March last.
The generic name is derived from Aevkoc, white, and vwyuv,
a beard; the limb of the corolla being bearded with white.
