A pretty little shrub, with white bell-shaped flowers, and small narrow dark 

 green leaves. It is commonly called Pernettya phillyreifolia in the nurseries. 

 It is a native of the Falkland Isles, and is very hardy ; but, like all other 

 plants of the same genus, it is easily killed by extremes of drought and mois- 

 ture. It succeeds best with American plants in a peat border ; and it is 

 propagated by cuttings, which must be treated like those of heaths. " They 

 should be potted in brown peaty soil, with very little sand in it." (Bot. Beg., 

 November ; and Bot. Gard., December.)

A rambling shrub, 12 ft. high, a native of Peru, which requires the heat of a 

 stove to make it produce even a moderate quantity of flowers, which are 

 white, tinged with green or brown ; and which are more curious than beauti- 

 ful. (Bot. Mag., December.)

A tall shrub, with broad coarse-growing leaves, and large white flowers. It 

 would be worth cultivating, did it not require a stove, for which, on account 

 of " the large size of its foliage, it can be scarcely recommended, except for 

 an extensive collection." (Botanist, November )
