The present beautiful plant is deserving a place in every
collection, both for its beauty and the delightful fragrance of its
flowers, which has obtained for it the name of the native Rose
in New South Wales; it may certainly be considered as one of
the most ornamental plants of the Greenhouse, thriving well in
a light turfy peat soil, and the pots to be well drained with potsherds

Wales, requiring the protection of a good Greenhouse in Winter.
Young cuttings of it, planted in sand, under bell-glasses, in
Summer, placed in a warm but shady situation, and to be kept
regularly moist, will be rooted by the following Spring, when
they must be potted singly into small pots, and all the sand
must be shook clean from their roots that they might not canker;
they should then be placed in a close frame for a few days,
until they have made fresh roots, and must be shaded from the
sun, when they must be hardened to the air by degrees; evening

early age, by an accidental fall at Athens, while attending Professor
Sibthorp on a botanical tour to that country.
