SOLANUM LACINIATUM. 
Class. Order, 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This plant was originally found in New 
Holland, also in New Zealand, apd seems 
to have been one of the few plants which 
were introduced into this country by the 
expedition under the great circumnavigator 
tain Cook. 
It is shrubby, but not very long lived, and 
flowers abundantly in spring and summer, 
generally producing ripe fruit; it is also 
readily increased by cuttings. 
It is necessary to preserve it in the green- 
house in winter, and it should be planted in 
loamy soil.
