A neat species of the extensive genus Pimelea, found 
from Van Diemen's Land to Port Jackson, and growing in its 
native places as much as ten feet high. We have specimens 
from Mr. Gunn of Launceston, and others. 
It is a hardy greenhouse plant, readily multiplied by 
cuttings. It only requires good ventilation during winter, 
so as to prevent its being destroyed ap Our drawing 
was made in Mr. Lowe’s Nursery in March 1834. 
We are not aware of the particular part of the island of 
Van Diemen in which this shrub occurs; but if it is from the 
south side it will probably prove hardy in the southern parts 
of England.
