It may be propagated by striking, under a bell-glass, in 

 pure white sand, young cuttings ; which are afterwards to 

 be shifted into a mixture of equal parts of peat and light 

 sandy loam.

NOTE. 



The Nursery of Mr. Mackay at Clapton, from which this plant was 

 obtained, is now under the direction of Mr, Hugh Low, who has been eight 

 years foreman in the establishment, and to whose careful management, the 

 success that has attended the raising the many important collections re- 

 ceived by Messrs, Mackay and Co, during that period, is very much to be 

 attributed. We rejoice to find that this valuable depot of New Holland 

 plants is to remain in such skilful hands.
