duction of a plant to his Majesty's Garden at Kew, is a 

 very different affair from its introduction to Great Britain. 

 An object cannot be properly said to be introduced from 

 one country to another, unless it is afterwards disseminated 

 by such means as the introducer possesses ; a practice 

 which is adopted in every establishment in the world, save 

 in that one which ought to set an example to all others. 



A greenhouse shrub, remarkable for its hard, neat, 

 rigid, divided leaves, and heads of purple flowers. Propa- 

 gated by ripened cuttings, struck under a bell-glass. It 

 blossoms in July. Our drawing was made this year, in 

 Mr. Mackay's Nursery at Clapton.
