INDIGOFERA AUSTRALIS. 
Class, Order. 
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
This elegant plant is a native of New 
South Wales, and was found among some 
of the first importations from that prolific 
country. Being so very free in flowering, 
it is deservedly considered a lively and orna- 
mental greenhouse plant: its season for 
blooming is the spring and beginning of 
summer, continuing for a long time: we 
propagate it pretty freely by cuttings, and 
it thrives very well in light loamy soil. It 
makes a good plant for a conservatory; às 
when planted in the ground, it grows much 
handsomer and flowers stronger than in a pot: 
it may be trained to a pillar or fastened to 
a wall, (though not properly speaking a 
climber), and in such situation is seen to 
great advantage.
