which forms so singular a species of circulation in their 

 system, and which seems to be universal in hairs, so long 

 as they are alive. 



There is no difficulty either in cultivating this species, 

 or in striking it from cuttings, provided attention be paid to 

 the following circumstances. All plants from the southern 

 coast of New Holland, or from Van Diemen's Land, naturally 

 enjoy a climate which in the winter season is about as cold 

 as the winters of the south of France : they are found very 

 much in dry exposed situations ; and many of them, espe- 

 cially the Pimeleas, are physically incapable of enduring 

 cold and moisture together, although the former by itself, if 

 above a certain amount, is not prejudicial to them. They, 

 therefore, should be kept in winter in a cool airy place, 

 where a perfect command of ventilation is possessed; and 

 the temperature should not be allowed to rise much above 

 40° or 45° in the winter months. Upon this plan Mr. Knight, 

 of the King's Road, manages the young plants obtained 

 from the collections formed by Mr. Baxter, and with such 

 success that no doubt can be entertained of its excellence. 



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

 1832.
