fol 



S. Icevis; foliis ovatis basi truncatis insequaliter denticulatis, ramulis laevibus. 

 Frutex facie S. dentatae, sed diversus foliis angustioribus crebriiLs denti- 

 culatis, ramulis Icevibus nee scaberrimis, denique floribus unicoloribus nee 

 coccineo tinctis. 





A third species of the rare genus Scottia was hardly to 

 have been expected so soon after that we published at folio 

 1266. We owe it to the same rich collection ; Mr. Knight 

 having raised it from seeds gathered on the south coast 

 of New Holland by Baxter. 



It differs from S. dentata, not only in its flowers having 

 no tinge of red, and in its narrower, more finely-toothed 

 leaves, but also in its branches being altogether free from 

 the numerous rough projecting points which are found in 

 both the other species. 



A delicate greenhouse plant, requiring a cool shelf in 

 the winter, and abundant ventilation.
