A prettv little shrub, having the habit of some slender 

 variety of our Rosemary. It is a Greenhouse plant, native 

 of New Holland, where it was found near Port Jackson 

 both by Mr. Brown and Dr. White. 



It should have a situation in an airy part of the Green- 

 house, where it will thrive in any light soil. 



Our drawing was made in Mr. Knight's Nursery in 

 November last. 



Branches slender, somewhat 4-cornered, slightly hairy. 

 Leaves in whorls of threes, linear, mucronate at the apex,
