merous, surrounding the germen : filaments orange-co- 

 loured ; pollen golden yellow. Germen conical, downy, 

 terminated by a broad, nearly sessile, capitate Stigma. 

 The present handsome species is a rare plant in our 

 collections ; the only one that we have seen of it was 

 sent us by the kindness of Mr. J. Miller, from his Nur- 

 sery at Bristol, a collection that is very rich in this hand- 

 some family of plants ; another fine strong growing spe- 

 cies belonging to this section, H. atriplicifolium, with 

 large glaucous leaves resembling Atriplev Halimus, has 

 we believe quite disappeared from our collections, though 

 we recollect when it was very abundant ; this is also the 

 case with Cistus Ledon, which we do not remember hav- 

 ing seen for the last ten years, many of those plants being 

 lost, through their possessors not knowing what they 

 were, and the protection that they require, and also by 

 confusing them with others. The present species is 

 nearly hardy, requiring only a slight covering in se- 

 vere frosty weather, and some young plants of it may 

 be grown in pots, to be protected in frames or the 

 Greenhouse in. Winter ; a light sandy soil suits it best, 

 or, if grown in pots, a mixture of turfy loam and peat 

 is most proper for it ; young cuttings, planted under 

 hand-glasses, in a shady situation, any time through 

 the Spring or Summer, will root readily; and the 

 sooner they are potted off after they are rooted, the 

 better, or the glasses left off them, as they are very 

 liable to damp off.
