DILLWYNIA JUNIPERINA. 
Class. Order. 
DECANDRIA MONOGY NIA. 
This plant is a native of Van Diemen's 
Island, whence we received seeds of it in 
the year 1818. Its flowers are produced at 
the ends of the branches in heads, consisting 
of from three to nine blossoms. The 
branches are somewhat pendulous and the 
leaves scattered, grooved on their upper 
surface, and ending in a very sharp rigid 
point or thorn, of strength sufficient to pe- 
netrate the skin. The general habit of the 
plant is so much like Acacia Juniperina, as 
io rer 3 difficult at first sight to dis- 
them. It blossomed with us in 
by cuttings. It seems to be a free grower, 
having in two years attained the height of 
two feet. It must be preserved in winter 
in a greenhouse, and potted in sandy peat 
earth.
