name of Esenus ¢retica, which was firft impofed upon it by 
Prosper Axpinus or his friend Pona, and being adopted 
by Linnaus, has become very general; but Lamarck, 
Jussteu, and WiLLpENow, confider it as a fpecies of An- 
THYLLIS, and referve the name of Esenus for the totally 
different tree, which produces the Ebony wood. The plant 
here figured is a native of Candia, and other iflands in the 
Archipelago. Is a hardy greenhoufe fhrub, requiring a great 
deal of air and light, plenty of water in the fummer, but 
very little during the winter. Flowers in June and July, 
Propagated by feeds, which it fometimes perfeéts in this” 
country; though, unlefs properly treated, it rarely even 
flowers. Our drawing was taken at Mr. SALissury’s Bo- 
tanic Garden, at Brompton, :
