No. 582. 
DILLWYNIA GLABERRIMA. 
Class. Order. 
DECANDRIA  MONOGYNIA. 
A native of New Holland: it was among 
some of the earliest introductions from 
that country, and is a slender, delicate plant, 
in growth and appearance when not in 
blossom, a good deal like an Erica. The 
flowers come forth in the spring, and often 
continue throughout the summer and 
autumn, presenting a gay appearance, ¢s- 
pecially if the plant be growing in the full 
ground in a conservatory, which situation is 
peculiarly favourable to it. We have had 
one for some years on the back-wall of a 
greenhouse, which is five or six feet high, 
and almost always loaded with flowers. In 
a pot it grows much slower, and remains in 
a dwarf state. The soil should be sandy 
peat. It is difficult to raise by cuttings, 
and seeds have not yet been perfected in 
this country.
