DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
This was introduced about the year 1793, 
from Van Diemen’s island, of which it is a 
native. It is a free growing shrub, and 
flourishes particularly well if planted in the 
full ground of a conservatory, in which si- 
tuation we have had it attain the height of 
seven or eight feet. Its flowers are very 
pretty, and are produced during the spring 
months in great abundance: sometimes 
they are succeeded by ripe seeds, by which 
it may be readily increased; it will also 
strike freely by cuttings. The soil should 
be loam and peat, and it wants no more 
protection than mere defence from actual 
frost.
