OXYLOBIUM ARBORESCENS. 
Class. Order. 
DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
We are indebted for this beautiful plant 
to New South Wales, the source of so many 
elegant productions. It flowers with us 
abundantly in the month of April, forming a 
very neat and handsome addition to the 
number of greenhouse plants. It was in- 
troduced about the year 1806: we have pro- 
pagated it pretty readily by cuttings. It will 
also sometimes produce ripe seeds here. It 
may be kept in a moderate sized pot, in a 
mixture of peat earth and loam. It is also 
very well adapted for a conservatory, as it 
grows and flowers far more freely when 
planted in the full ground, which is generally 
the case with the papilionaceous plants of 
New Holland.
