producini: shoots 3 ft., 4ft., or oft. in length, when young; anil it is readily 

 propa-au-d l>v cuttings or by layers. The latter mode- is generally adopted in 

 British mir.series. Plants, in London, are v. <></. each. In the" ease of the 

 ari^totrlia ami ot' all other shrubs or trees tliiit are rather tender, it is very 

 desirable, in fold situations north of London more especially, to have reserve 

 plants, against a wall, or in pots, from which cuttings may be taken when 

 wanted, to snpplv any deaths which may occur in the open narden.

 shrub or low tree, growing to the height of 1'J ft. in its native 

 country Chili, in groves about Conception, where it is called 

 Corco'cn. It was introduced into Fjigland in IS.'JO, or before, and 

 Howered against a wall in the garden of the London Horticul- 

 tural Society in 1S3.). The following particulars respecting it 

 are from the But. Reg , t. I'M. Branches pubescent. Leaves 

 oblong, from 1 in. to 2 in. long, crenately sawed, deep, bright 

 green, remarkably glossy. Elowers small, devoid of corolla, yelii w 

 in the anthers, which are protnulcd a little Beyond the calyx, tii>- 

 posed in corymbose clusters that are shorter than the leaves, fr;> 

 grant. A. d'entuta, in England, nailed to the south face of a wall, 

 and protected from wet in winter, forms a very handsome ever- 

 green bush. No drought seems to affect it ; for, after nearly two months of the hottest and driest 

 weather known in England, its leaves were perfectly fresh and green. Jiot. Jit'tf., Sept. 18;x>.)

 ' DOJI'X Mill., ii. ]). . r xi.) An evergreen shrub, a native of Chili, growing to about 12 ft. high, and 

 found in groves about Concepcion, where it, as well as A. dentata, is called Corcolen. Mr. Knight 

 of the Exotic Nursery, Che 1-ea, raised, in IS.;'.', plants of this species from seeds obtained of 

 Mr. Ciiming, who had" imported them from their native country. It is probably only a variety of 

 the preceding. A.scrritta R. et P., another species, is described in Dec. l'i\nl and Don's Mill.,
