conservatory at Barnet two crops of fruit were produced 
from one tree in the same year; a fine figure of a fruit- 
bearing branch, from the pencil of Mr. Hooker, is added, 
and also some remarks by the Society’s very zealous secre- 
tary, who applied the name of Catilecanum to it. An illus- 
tration of the botanical character of the genus, as well as 
of this particular species, may be seen in Linp.ey’s Collec- 
tanea Botanica above quoted, together with‘a fine figure 
of a flowering branch and separate fruit. 
The flower is very little larger than that of the common 
broad-leaved myrtle, which it is not unlike. The fruit 
contains a juicy pulp, sweet, with some acidity. In the 
one we tasted, perhaps from being too ripe, we could not 
discover the delicious flavour described by Mr. Linvtey. 
May be propagated by cuttings, and these, with good 
ais, Sie Mr. Carttey observes, may be brought into 
fruit the second year. It seems to be a fast grower, Mr. 
Carttey’s plant, when purchased, being only twelve inches 
high, had, in two years, attained the height of three yards.
