A native of Chili, received in 1823 : it 

 forms a small, stiff growing bush, and pro- 

 duces its inconspicuous flowers in March, 

 preserved in the greenhouse, but it is not 

 at all improbable that in time it may be 

 brought to endure our climate without in- 

 jury from the winters. The soil should be 

 light loam. We have not yet succeeded in 

 propagating it.
