A hardy Chinese treelike shrub^ said to have been intro- 

 duced by Lord Coventry about 1763. We were favoured 

 with the present specimen by Lady Aylesford; in wliose col- 

 lection at Stanmore it flowered this summer. It was also in 

 flower at Messrs. Whitley and Co/s at the Fulham nursery- 



The species is said by L'Heritier to be polygamous. 



We had no opportunity of describing the plant; but 

 shall subjoin the account we find in Martyn's edition of 

 Miller's Dictionary, and a version of Mr. Dryander's excel- 

 lent description of the flower taken from the Banksian ma- 

 nuscripts* 



Trunk arboreous, upright, round, smooth, branched, 

 exceeding the height of a man. Branches scattered, 

 spreading, twisted, when young having dotted glauds
