MIRBELIA RETICULATA. 
Class, Order. 
DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a native of New Holland: it was 
among the early introduetions from thence, 
having been raised from some of the first 
collections of seeds which were received 
in this country. Notwithstanding, it has 
generally been reckoned a scarce plant; 
for it is usually but short-lived, as, indeed, 
is the case with the far greater part of the 
leguminous plants from that quarter. It 
produces its pleasing flowers in the begin- 
ning of summer, and may be propagated 
by cuttings. It should be kept constantly 
in the greenhouse, and potted in sandy 
peat earth, with rather a sparing supply of 
water.
