SOPHORA MACROCARPA. 
Class. Order. 
DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of Chili: we received seeds of 
it in 1822 from our most esteemed friend, 
General Paroissien. It flowered for the 
first time in April 1826, in the open air; 
being planted against a wall with a south- 
west aspect, where it has stood three win- 
ters uninjured. Its flowers are beautiful, 
and it may be considered as a valuable ad- 
dition to that most interesting class of 
plants, the hardy shrubs : it is also ever- 
green. We have succeeded in propagating 
it by cuttings. The soil should be light 
loam.
