ACACIA PROSTRATA. 
Class, Order. 
POLYGAMIA MONG@C1A. 
A native of Van Diemen’s Island: we 
raised our plants from seeds in 1818, and 
they flowered two years afterwards. It is 
dwarfish in growth, having several loose 
straggling branches: while young these are 
angular, but when older they become round. 
They are clothed with flat sharp pointed 
rigid leaves, placed edgeways, and a little 
curved on their upper edge: there is no ap- 
pearance of any stipules. 
It may either be kept in the greenhouse 
in a pot, or planted in the full ground of a 
conservatory, in which latter situation it will 
flourish most, and will propagate by cut- 
tings: the soil should be loam and peat.
