A native of the southern coast of New Holland where 

 it was first found by Dr. Brown. It is a ^some shrub 

 with dark green neat leaves ; and if kept in healtt P> * 

 very desirable greenhouse plant, easily propagatea oy 

 cuttings, and flowering in May and June. 



Being ot a soft nature, never forming any hard iwood^ 

 or well-ripened shoots, it is pecuhariy liable to . u^ from 

 over-watering, or from the earth in whic n k ■ P 



becoming saturated ; if this happens, it ' mme ™ be S lS 



its leaves losing their dark green colour and becommg 

 of a pale yellow hue. Inconvenience of th.s kind any 



gardener will know how to guard against.
