.The flowering specimen of this plant, with its narrow 
leaflets, has a very different appearance from what is 
cultivated in our gardens, and which I have never known to 
flower. If the leaves of this species, and others of this 
family, called Molle by the natives, be broken into small 
pieces and thrown upon water, they exhibit, and for a con- 
siderable length of time, the most extraordinary movements; 
owing to the essential oil escaping from the wounds; which, 
by the resistance it meets with in the water, forces the frag- 
ments of leaf in the opposite direction.
