This is really an ornamental and showy greenhouse plant, native 
of New Zealand, discovered by Forster, during Cook’s Voyage, 
and of which seeds were sent to us by the Rev. Wm. Colenso_ 
_ from the same country. Mr. Allan Cunningham found it on the 
margin of the woods on the shores of the Bay of Islands, and 
_ 0h the Hokianga river. It quite festoons the trees and shrubs _ 
with its dense foliage and large panicles of flowers. With us it 
flowered in April, 1848. The lobed-leaved plant is evidently
