No. 828, 
ACACIA HISPIDULA, 
` Order. 
POLYGAMIA MONOECIA. 
This is a native of New South Wales; it 
was introduced in 1794. It is a low bushy 
shrub, with rough stiff leaves, and flowers 
in the autumn, being one of the least showy 
of this extensive family. Itis not quite so 
hardy as are most of the New Holland 
species, and should therefore be kept in a 
warm part of the greenhouse. 
It should be potted in sandy peat earth, 
and can only be increased, as far as we know, 
by seeds, which are not often sent over, on 
which account it is likely to remain a scarce 
plant.
