^ 



A branching shrub, about 2 feet high, almost always in 

 flower, producing two distinct crops of blossoms ; the first 

 of which sprouts in the spring, and another in autumn : it 

 will probably prove one of the most ornamental species yet 

 in cultivation. 



A native of Chile. Our drawing was made from speci- 

 mens communicated by the Honourable and Rev. William 

 Herbert, in honour of whom we have taken the liberty of 

 naming it. It is a half-hardy plant, requiring protection 

 from severe frost in winter, but growing in the summer 

 better in the open air than under a glass. Readily increased 

 by cuttings.
