but in cultivation, when they are kept in a moist atmosphere, 

 they much lose this tendency. 



In general their leaves are very small, like those of the 

 plant now before us; but in C. buxifolia, which Allan Cun- 

 ningham considered a Pomaderris, they acquire a tolerable 

 size. Their flowers are always small. 



The species now figured is a native of the Swan River, 

 whence we have wild specimens from Drummond. Its flowers 

 are very sweet smelling, like hawthorn, and though small 

 they render the plant attractive from the profusion in which 

 they are produced, all over the branches. Mrs. Wray, of 

 Oakfield, has had the good fortune to rear it from seed, and 

 to that lady are we indebted for specimens. It flowers in 

 January. 



Fig. 1. shews the calyx cut open, with the five little 

 hooded petals arched over the stamens. 



A neat little greenhouse shrub, requiring about the same 

 treatment as Cape Heaths. It should be potted in a soil 

 composed of sandy peat, and a small portion of loam, with 

 plenty of drainage. It is increased by cuttings of the young 

 shoots in the early part of summer ; they must be put in 

 sand, and covered with a bell-glass, and have a slight bottom 

 heat.
