ACACIA LINIFOLIA. 
Class. 
POLYGAMIA MONECIA. 
This was first brought from New South 
Wales, which is its native country, about 
the year 1790; being among the earliest 
importations from that fertile region. 
The flowers usually begin to open in No- 
vember with us, continuing successively 
till the spring : they are possessed of a very 
delicate smell, and the plant forms an ele- 
gant subject for a conservatory or green- 
house, thriving best in the full ground. In 
its growth it is somewhat pendulous, and 
while young it needs a little support. 
It is one of those species which are ex- 
tremely difficult to increase in any other 
way than by seeds, which are not matured 
in this country, for which reason itis at pre- 
sent scarce. It should be planted in sandy 
peat eart
