This beautiful little plant is from New 
South Wales; whence it was introduced 
about the year 1803. It produces its fra- 
grant flowers in May and June in the 
greatest profusion, generally some at the 
axil of every leaf: the leaves are extremely 
delicate, and the whole plant forms a small 
prickly bush: it must be kept in the green- 
house in the winter, and will increase pretty 
well by cuttings: it flourishes in a loam 
and peat soil. The roots of this and of the 
What a curious property is this, that a plant 
should derive from the same nutriment

„Wonderful indeed are all His works; 
Pleasant to know, and worthiest to be all 
Had in Prest always with delight.”
