Linnæus, in honour of a learned Spaniard, 
the pupil and companion of the celebrated 
Mutis, who discovered many new plants, 
The E. glandulosa is a native of Chili, 
and was found there by Mr. A. Menzies. 
It grows to a small tree, with very hard ‘ 
wood, which is used for many purposes. 
We received seeds of it from our valued 
friend, General Paroissien, in 1820. - It has 
endured our winters, protected by a wall, 
and reached the height of eight feet, pro- 
ducing its flowers in the month of August. 
It may be increased by cuttings, and will 
grow in any good garden soil.
