Befides the difference in the length of the keel, and the 

 oppofite leaves, which led us to doubt (at No. 1032) whether 

 this plant could be properly arranged under the genus Chori- 

 zema, Mr, Brown has remarked feveral other peculiarities, 

 inferted in the generic character, as above given. 



The Podolobium trilobum is a native of New South-Wales, 

 from whence it was introduced into this country by McGrs. 

 Lee and Kennedy in 1791. Is a hardy greenhoufe fhrub. 

 It rarely ripens its feed with us, but may be propagated by 

 cuttings, and more expeditioufly by layers. Flowers from 

 April to July. Communicated by Mr. Knight, of the Exotic 

 Nurfery, King's-Road, Litile-CheHea.
