The accompanying figure was made in the garden of the 

 Horticultural Society in June last, where it had been raised 

 from seeds sent to Captain James Mangles, R.N. from Port 

 Augusta, by Mrs. Molloy, a lady enthusiastically attached to 

 the Botany of this remote region. 



It is a greenhouse perennial of the easiest culture, and 

 goes on producing a succession of flowers throughout the 

 summer and autumn months. There is no doubt that it 

 would succeed very well and flower freely if planted against a 

 south wall in summer ; but; the severity of the winter, parti- 

 cularly about London, would prove fatal to it, and therefore 

 if treated in this manner it must be taken up and protected. 

 It grows well in any rich free soil, and strikes readily from 

 cuttings.
