ACACIA JUNIPERINA. 
Class. Order. 
POLYGAMIA MON(ECIA. 
A low straggling shrub when kept in a 
pot, but planted out in the full ground of a 
conservatory, it attains the height of six or 
eight feet, with numerous branches, which 
are covered with short hairs, and the lower 
ones mostly pendulous. 
The leaves are about half an inch in 
length; they are placed edgeways, and on 
each side of their insertion is a very short 
capillary stipule, which usually drops off 
after a time. The common peduncles are 
a little shorter than the leaves, and the head 
of flowers is of a spherical form. 
Tt blooms with us in the months of Fe- 
bruary and March, and is a tolerably hardy 
greenhouse plant. It is very difficult to 
propagate in any way except by seeds. The 
soil should be sandy peat and loam.
