AOTUS VILLOSA. 
Class, Order. 
DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This was introduced in 1790 from New 
Holland: it also grows in Van Diemen’s 
Island. It is a slender shrub, which will 
sometimes attain the height of three feet, 
are very lively, and the plant very well me- 
rits cultivation. 
It requires the greenhouse protection, 
and may be increased with difficulty by cut- 
tings, or much better by seeds, which are 
occasionally sent over from its native coun- 
try. It should be potted in sandy loam and 
peat.
