ASTER ACULEATUS. 
Class. Order. 
SYNGENESIA SUPERFLUA. 
This is a native of Van Diemen’s Island : 
it is a free growing plant, and under proper 
culture not devoid of beauty, flowering with 
us in the autumnal months. 
Labillardiere’s name of aculeatus is 
scarcely appropriate, the aculeæ on the 
surface of the leaf, whence há has derivat 
during the winter season, and may be in- 
creased by cuttings : the soil should be light 
loam.
