And several others 

 of this heterogeneous 

 family. Nature seems 

 to have mixed up in 

 this the forms of all 

 other genera ; and to 

 have embellished it at 

 the same time with 

 some of the most 

 conspicuous as well 

 as inconspicuous of 

 flowers.

 *collina B. M. 

 *sericea Vahl 

 *neapolitana Lodd. 

 The last 4 species, 



although they will 



endure the generality 



of our winters with- 

 out protection, are 



apt to suffer should 



the thermometer fall 



below 10° Fahr. 

 Gnidia L. 

 *imberbis B. M. 

 *simplex B. M. 



These two are often 



confounded together 



in gardens, 

 sericea WiUd. Wants 



more protection than 



the two preceding. 

 Dais L. 



cotinifolia B. M. 

 A beautifnl plant, 



which deserves to be 



in every collection.

 And perhaps all the 



others, but I have not 



had the opportunity 



of trying ; the above 



will bear 6° frost. 



'ElcEagndcea; Arb. Brit. 

 i^laeagnus Tourji. 

 *arbdrea Roxb. 

 spinosa L. 



Hovea purpurea has stood the winter with the thermometer at zero, with 

 only a little fern thrown over it, in the open border, though the shoots are 

 killed back half-way. Greville« rosmarinifolia has proved itself here a hardy 

 evergreen, at least as hardy as a common laurel. 



Since writing the above list of Kennedya, I find K. inophylla (Zichy«) 

 the hardiest of this division, next coccinea, then pannosa; tricolor, glabrata, 

 and another I am not certain of, are very tender. The hardenbergias are the 

 hardiest, especially Hugeh'i. Kennedys Stirling^' is rather tender, as are also 

 Marryatt(S and angustifolia; splendens appears to be the hardiest of all.

 This must not be con 

 founded with a species 

 from Gambia, which it 

 resembles very much, 

 and which is perhaps 

 the f-quisetifolia Hort.

species belonging to the genus, except perhaps it may be speciosa, which 

 appears to me the tenderest. Although I have only enumerated the above in 

 Vvoieacea;, yet I am convinced, from my knowledge of the order, that the 

 greater number of the species v/ould thrive against such a wall as the Chats- 

 worth one. I see, from my herbarium, and notes taken of above 200 species 

 of this order, that I have marked nearly 100 of them as half-hardy, or such 

 as will stand, when weUi^rotectcd, against a wall.
