Introduced into the country from New South Wales by 
Mr. Avian Cunnincuam, who sent seeds of it to the Royal 
Gardens of Kew in 1823. These produced flowering 
ont in October 1825, and, in May 1827, the same plants 
re the bright-coloured fruits which are said in the 
“ Library of Entertaining Knowledge” to have “ some- 
thing of the consistency and taste of the Siberian Crab.” 
I am indebted to W. T. Arron, Esq. for the drawings 
and specimens of this plant, from which our figure and 
description were made.
