Class. Order, . 
DIANDRIA —- MONOG N14. 
This is a native of Van Diemen’s Island, 
and was obtained by us from seeds in 1817. 
It is a low growing shrub with few branches, 
and opposite leaves. The flowers, which 
appear in os are seedy proinent! in ter- 
minal head 
come out at ‘the axils. 
It requires the usual greenhouse treat- 
ment, and should be potted in sandy peat 
earth. It may be propagated by cuttings 
or seeds, which seem likely to Gai in this 
country.
