Class. Order. 
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA, 
A native of New South Wales; intro- 
duced in 1792. It is a moderate sized 
shrub, with straggling branches, and flowers 
in June. It flourishes if planted out in a 
conservatory in loam and peat earth, and 
may be increased by seeds, which should 
be obtained from its native country, as it 
seldom produces them here. 
The flat branches peculiar to this extra- 
ordinary plant, and two or three other 
kinds, are very interesting: they rarely 
have any foliage, although now and then a 
small oval leaf is seen, but soon dropping 
off. 
How continually do we meet with new and 
SA vera and modes of vegetable 
life, the Infinite Wisdom 
of that glorious Being who has created all 
things, visible and invisible, by the word of 
His power; Who preserves all His crea-
