_This very interesting plant was raised by Mr. Curtis, at 
his extensive nursery-ground, Glazenwood, in the summer 
of last year, from seeds brought by Dr. Witson from Van 
lemen’s Land. ‘“ They were gathered,” Mr. Curris 
observes, « by Mr. Witt1am Davinson, the Curator of 
the Hobart Town Botanic Garden, on Mount Welling- 
ton, at an elevation of three thousand feet above the 
level of the sea, The plant flourishes with me in a com- 
mon pit, but I expect it will prove quite hardy, though 
do not venture to remove it to the border during winter. 
he appearance of the foliage is similar to that of Ammo- 
Blum alatum, but of a more bluish green, and the smell of 
the flowers resembles that of honey-comb, or of the Bup- 
PLEA globosa.”’
