where it is said to have been gathered by Humboldt and Bon-

Hairy Escallonia. Shrub. : 
Cult. All the species of Escallénia are very fine ever-green 
shrubs ; they grow best in a mixture of peat, sand, and loam ; 
and cuttings strike readily in mould or sand under a hand glass. 
Most of the species will probably be found sufficiently hardy to 
stand in the open air in our climate, provided they are planted 
in a warm sheltered situation, particularly against a south wall 
or hot-house; and in winter they may be protected by throwing 
a mat over them.
