where it is called glauca, a name which we have not found it. 
recorded by, except in Loppiees’ Catalogue for the year 1816. 
In Mr. Brown’s character, the peduncles are said to grow 
from the axils of the leaves, either in pairs or singly. In 
cultivation, we never recollect seeing them otherwise than 
solitary. : 
The DaviesrA mimosoides is a native of New South- 
Wales, where it was observed by Rosert Brown, Esq. and 
introduced into the Kew-Gardens by Mr. Tuomas Gries, 
in 1809. But we learn, from the Botanical Cabinet, that it 
was raised from seeds by Messrs. Loppices and Sons, about 
the year 1805. These excellent cultivators have not found it 
easy to propagate it by cuttings, and they tell us it thrives 
best in a soil composed of loam and peat. It requires the 
protection of a greenhouse or conservatory; in the border of 
the latter it is seen to the greatest advantage.
