No. 879, 
OLEA UNDULATA, 
Class. Order. 
DIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This forms a handsome evergreen shrub: _ 
it is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, of 
moderate growth, attaining in time the 
height of three or four feet. The leaves 
are of a rigid, firm consistence, remaining 
7 very well in the winter, in which season it 
requires the greenhouse. The flowers, 
which come forth in abundance in the latter 
part of summer, possess a most delicate 
fragrance. They are frequently succeeded 
by the fruit, which does not ripen till the 
following year, nor have we yet been able 
to raise any plants from this, though appa- 
rently perfect. It is extremely difficult to 
increase either by layers or cuttings. The 
soil should be loam and peat.
