Мо. 1197. 
BAUERA HUMILIS. 
Class. Order, 
POLYANDRIA DIGYNIA. 
We raised this from seeds received from 
New South Wales about the year 1804. 
It is a neat growing close bushy shrub, 
flowering in summer and autumn. It 
requires the greenhouse, and may be in- 
creased easily by cuttings: the soil should 
be loam and peat. 
This genus was most deservedly named, 
by Sir James Smith, in honor of our old 
friends the very worthy brothers and ex- 
cellent artists, Messrs. Francis and Ferdi- 
nand Bauer: the loss of the latter, who 
travelled with Dr. Sibthorp, in Greece, and 
with Mr. Brown, in New Holland, we have 
not long since had to lament. He died in 
the beginning of 1826, at Vienna, his na- 
tive place. He had retired thither, partly 
from the fear, notwithstanding his rare 
talents, of being unable, in this expensive 
country, to meet the wants and infirmities 
of declining years.
