GREVILLEA LINEARIS. 
Class. Order. 
TETRANDRIA  MONOGFNIA. 
This genus received its appellation in 
honour of the late Right Honourable Charles 
Greville, who possessed some very choice 
plants. There are many species of it, all 
natives of New Holland; but only three or 
four are yet brought to this country. The 
linearis was introduced in 1790; it varies 
with white flowers, and is a very desirable 
green-house plant, continuing in bloom from 
the spring months generally tbroughout tbe 
greater part of summer. It likes an airy 
situation, and not too much water, thriving 
in a mixture of loam and pea It will pro- 
pagate by cuttings, but with difficalty.
