Introduced many years ago into the English Gardens, 
where it makes a graceful greenhouse shrub. It has been 
obligingly communicated by Mr. Arron from Kew Gardens, 
along with the following species, L. Gnidium, and was 
accompanied by some excellent remarks from Mr. ALLAN 
Cunninenam with the view of showing that the two plants 
are really distinct, although they have been united by the 
generality of Botanists. _ : 
2 Mr. Cunnincuam speaks of L. lanceolatus as a frequent 
plant in the colony, and constituting a large shrub in the 
Blue Mountains. With us it bears its slender and drooping 
“spikes of white flowers in March.
