GREVILLEA CINEREA. 
Class. Order. 
TETRANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a dwarf bushy shrub, and flowered 
with us in the month of March. It requires 
the greenhouse, and may be increased by 
cuttings, which should be potted in sandy 
peat earth. ; 
It was discovered by Mr. Brown growing 
on the rocky banks of rivers, on the eastern 
side of New Holland : he first described it 
in his learned paper on the Proteaceæ, in the < 
Linnæan Society, in which thirty-eight 
species are enumerated. Notwithstanding 
this paper was read so long ago as 1809, 
not more than six kinds have yet been 
brought into cultivation, an evident proof 
of the want of zeal, and the little pains 
which have been taken to introduce such 
interesting and beautiful objects, although 
no country ever possessed half the advan- 
that England does for this desirable 
purpose.
