We entertain no doubt that when the habits of the plant 
shall have been more correctly studied it will become a 
general favourite. In the meanwhile it is as well to know 
that the foliage is very sweet-scented. 
Our figure was made last spring from a plant belonging 
to Mr. Groom of the Clapham Nursery. 
Fig. 1. shows the broom.like style, with the anthers at 
the base ; 2. the ovary and style after the anthers have been 
pulled off; 3. an anther viewed from behind ; 4. a cross sec- 
tion of the ovary. 
It is a greenhouse shrub, and will succeed best if potted 
in rough peat, well mixed with one-fourth silver sand. 
During the summer season a liberal supply of water should 
be given, and as much air as possible. In winter it should 
be treated in the same manner as Cape Heaths —never apply- 
ing fire heat except to keep off frost. It may be propagated 
by cuttings in the usual way.
