ered vfe believe for the first time in this country; the seeds
were sent home by Mr. W. Baxter, who collected them on the
South coast of New Holland. It makes a very pretty appearance
when in flower, and its flowers have a pleasant scent like
Hawthorn. It appears to be of free growth, and as hardy as
any of the genus, making a pleasing variety amongst other
Greenhouse plants ; the best soil for it is an equal mixture of
light turfy loam, peat, and sand ; the pots to be well drained
with potsherds, that the wet may pass off readily. Ripened
cuttings, planted under a hand-glass in sand, in a cool situation,
will strike root readily; the best time to take the cuttings, is,
just before the buds begin to burst; the cut will then soon
callous over, and young roots will soon be produced.
