No. 878. 
ZIERIA LANCEOLATA. 
Class. Order. 
TETRANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
Native of New out Wales; it was in- 
troduced in 1803. This genus was named 
by Sir James Smith in memory of Mr. John 
Zier, a learned and industrious German 
botanist who died about the year 1796. Sir 
J. in Reess Cyclopedia, following Mr. 
Brown, justifies the exchanging the usual 
name of Smithii for lanceolata, as being 
more expressive. 
It is a neat shrub, growing very bushy, 
and flowering during the spring and sum- 
mer. It may be propagated with facility 
by cuttings, which should be potted in a 
mixture of loam and peat earth, and pre- 
served in a greenhouse in the winter.
