ACACIA LONGIFOLIA, 
Class. ‘ Order, 
POLYGAMIA MONGCTA. 
This is from New South Wales: it was 
introduced in 1792, and is a large growing 
shrub, which, when in blossom during the 
summer months, is very elegant. It is an 
excellent plant for a conservatory, and will 
bear pruning to any extent. It will only 
increase by seeds, which are seldom pro- 
duced in England, but frequently sent home 
in collections from its native country, 
by which it is easily raised. It requires 
merely protection from frost, and should be 
planted in a mixture of peat and loam.
