ACACIA ARMATA. 
Class, Order. 
POLYGAMIA  MONŒCIA. 
This charming e is from New Holland ; 
it has been in this country some time, and is 
become a great ornament to the green-house 
in the months of April and May. It is seen 
to prodigious advantage when planted in a 
conservatory, as the flowers then attain a far 
greater size: the leaves also are much 
broader, and ofa deeper green. Ina pot it 
should have a soil composed of loam and 
peat. Wehave found it pretty hardy, capable 
of enduring a moderate frost, and have pre- 
served it very well in a frame in winter. It 
loves plenty of water, and may be easily in- 
creased by cuttings.
