but in cultivation, when they are kept in a moist atmosphere, 
they much lose this tendency. 
In general their leaves are very small, like those of the 
plant now before us; but in C. buxifolia, which Allan Cun- 
ningham considered a Pomaderris, they acquire a tolerable 
size. "Their flowers are always small. 
The species now figured is a native of the Swan River, 
whence we have wild specimens from Drummond. Its flowers 
are very sweet smelling, like hawthorn, and though small 
they render the plant attractive from the profusion in which 
they are produced, all over the branches. Mrs. Wray, of 
Oakfield, has had the good fortune to rear it from seed, and 
to that lady are we indebted for specimens. It flowers in 
January. 
Fig. 1. shews the calyx cut ‘open, with the five little _ 
hooded petals arched over the stamens. 
A neat little greenhouse shrub, requiring about the same 
treatment as Cape Heaths. It should be potted in a soil 
composed of sandy peat, and a small portion of loam, with 
plenty of drainage. It is increased by cuttings of the young 
shoots in the early part of summer; they must be put in 
pne. and covered with a bell-glass, and have a slight bottom 
eat.
