No. 25. 
PERSOONIA LANCEOLATA. 
Class, Order. 
TETRANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of New South Wales ; introduced 
into the royal gardens at Kew in 1791. 
raised several of it from seeds in the year 
1805. It is a handsome growing plant, and 
flowers freely every autumn. We have 
hitherto unsuccessfully tried every means of 
propagatiag it; but are not without hopes of 
its sometime or other perfecting ripe seeds. 
It requires the greenhouse in winter, and 
plenty of air, being not at all tender; soil, 
loam and peat. In New Holland, which 
affords such immense variety of plants, a 
great many species of Persoonia have been 
discovered, although only two are as yet 
among us.
