LEUCOPOGON INTERRUPTUS. 



This is a native of the South coast of 

 New Holland, where it was first discovered 

 by Mr. Brown. It is a neat, smooth shrub, 

 growing to the height of three feet or more. 

 The leaves are clustered in whorls, towards 

 the ends of the branches. The flowers 

 come out in little spikes, usually terminal : 

 they are exceedingly beautiful viewed 

 through a microscope, but most of their 

 beauty is lost to the naked eye. 



It requires the greenhouse, is increased 

 with difficulty by cuttings, and should be 

 potted in sandy peat earth.
