tion of its name in May of the present year by A. K. 
Bulley, Esq., of Ness, Neston, Cheshire, who raised it from 
seeds collected by Mr. T. T. Austin in Patagonia. The 
species has been for some years in cultivation in the open 
air at Kew, where, however, it has never flowered. Mr. 
Bulley informs me that with him it forms a hardy ever- 
green, never suffering from storm or frost, and flowering 
profusely.
