PERSOONTA FLEXIFOLIA. 



Holland, and lately introduced into this 

 country. It was first discovered by Mr. 

 Brown, and by him described in his excellent 

 dissertation on the Proteacese, in the Trans- 

 actions of the Linnaean Society. 



It is a low bushy plant with numerous 

 slender branches, flowering in the summer. 

 Like the rest of this genus, (as far as 

 known) it is difficult to propagate, cuttings 

 rooting very reluctantly, and seeds have 

 not yet been produced here. 



It must be kept in a greenhouse, and 

 potted in sandy peat earth.
