A handsome shrub; our drawing of which was made in 

 the Greenhouse of the Comte de Vandes in October last. 

 It is said to have been introduced by Mr. Mackay, of the 

 Clapton Nursery, about the year 1824 ; is a healthy-looking, 

 hardy, greenhouse shrub ; and strikes from cuttings without 

 much difficulty. 



A native of the southern coast of New Holland. 



Correa alba is not so different from this as it appears 

 to be at first sight; the principal distinction consisting 

 in the colour of the flower, and the smallness and undu- 

 lation of the leaves. 



An undershrub, with taper, ferruginous branches. 



* M. Correa de Serra, after whom this was named, was a distinguished 

 Portuguese Botanist, whose merits are better known to his surviving friends 

 than to the public. His chief works were an excellent paper on Aurantiace«, 

 and some Carpological dissertations in the Annales du Museum.
