ACACIA LINEARIS. 
Class. ag Order, 
POLYGAMIA MONGCIA. 
This is a native of New Holland, intro- 
duced a considerable time since: it is a 
pretty greenhouse, or conservatory plant, 
flowering during several months of the win- 
ter and spring. Our drawing was taken in 
December, from a specimen which was 
planted out against the back wall of a green- 
house, where it flourished and bloomed 
profusely. 
It is not easy to propagate it, excepting 
from seeds, which are occasionally brought 
home, and will keep good for many years. It 
grows very well in a mixture of light loam 
and peat earth. 
The leaves are much longer and narrower 
than the one figured by our excellent friend 
Dr. Sims; but the flowers are so similar, as 
well as every other part of the plant, that 
we cannot deem it a distinct species.
