smooth, slender, longer than the stamens. Stigma a simple
point.
For the opportunity afforded us of giving so fine a figure of
this plant, we are obliged to Mr. P. M‘Arthur, who sent us fine
flowering specimens of it that bloomed in the superb Conservatory
of A. Baring, Esq. at the Grange, near Alresford, Hants, where
the New Holland and Cape plants, with some from various other
countries, are growing with the greatest luxuriance, and make a
splendid appearance. The present subject is growing so freely,
that it can scarcely be recognised as the same species, when seen
stunted in a small pot in the Greenhouse; it makes a very
desirable plant for the Conservatory or Greenhouse, being an
abundant bloomer, and its flowers are fragrant; it is alo hardy
enough to endure our Winters against a wall, with the protection
of a mat in severe weather, thriving well in a mixture of sandy
loam and peat; and young cuttings root readily, planted in sand
under bell-glasses, and placed on a gentle heat.
