We are quite certain that this is the Pittosporum ferrugi- 

 neum of the Hortus Kewensis, but it differs considerably in 

 its habit from the other species of the g-enus, which are all 

 extratropical productions ; and if our observation respecting 

 the germen is correct, which however we are not confident 

 of, it can hardly be considered as a true Pittosporum.
