We entertain no doubt that when the habits of the plant 

 shall have been more correctly studied it will become a 

 general favourite. In the meanwhile it is as well to know 

 that the foliage is very sweet-scented. 



Our figure was made last spring from a plant belonging 

 to Mr. Groom of the Clapham Nursery. 



Fig. 1. shows the broom-like style, with the anthers at 

 the base ; 2. the ovary and style after the anthers have been 

 pulled off; 3. an anther viewed from behind; 4. a cross sec- 

 tion of the ovary. 



It is a greenhouse shrub, and will succeed best if potted 

 in rough peat, well mixed with one-fourth silver sand. 

 During the summer season a liberal supply of water should 

 be given, and as much air as possible. In winter it should 

 be treated in the same manner as Cape Heaths — never apply- 

 ing fire heat except to keep off frost. It may be propagated 

 by cuttings in the usual way.
