JACKSONIA SCOPARIA, 
— 
Class. Order. 
DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A genus, named in memory of George 
Jackson, a modern botanist of considerable 
talent, who died in 1811, aged 31. 
It is a native of New South Wales, first 
brought home in 1803. The stalks are an- 
gular and flat, and the flowers are scattered 
about the young twigs: they appear in May 
and June, and have a pleasant smell. 
The branches are mostly pa 
having a light and graceful ap 
distance; when not in bloom, much like 
Spartium monospermum. It thrives planted 
in a conservatory particularly, or may be 
kept in a pot, in sandy peat soil, requiring 
no more protection than merely from frost. 
It may be propagated pretty well by 
cuttings.
