little recurved, cuspidate, somewhat glaucous, especially beneath, 
and there having copious glandular reservoirs of oil, above 
sprinkled with very minute, pale dots, not visible to the naked 
eye. Peduncles on all the young branches, axillary, solitary, 
single-flowered, not half so long as the leaves, having a pair of 
minute éracteas near the base. Flowers rather large, starry. 
Calye small, glabrous, five-lobed. Petals lanceolate, white ; 
externally, especially in bud, tinged with rose-colour. Stamens 
ten, erect, alternately smaller, subulate, ciliated. Azthers ovate, 
mucronate. Ovary of five, ovate, acuminated lobes, seated on 
a large, flat, fleshy disk. Styles five, combined. Stigma five- 
lobed. W. J. H. 
Curr. This handsome flowering shrub, being a native of 
New South Wales, must be kept in the green-house. It 
appears to thrive best in turfy peat-soil, in which is mixed a 
portion of sharp white sand. It is necessary to have the pots 
well drained with potsherds, and the drainage will be much 
assisted by mixing pieces of charcoal with the soil. In order to 
obtain a handsome specimen, the plant must be carefully tended, 
shifting it at the proper time into a larger pot, and carefully 
training it into a neat form. To make it become bushy, the 
principal leading shoots should occasionally be shortened. During 
summer, it will require attention in watering, and the pot should 
be so placed that the sun’s rays do not fall on the sides. It is 
propagated by cuttings placed under a bell-glass in bottom-heat, 
or by grafting it on stocks of Correa alba. J. 8.
