R.G 
Popurar anp Grocrapuican Notice. Australia, that fertile, and 
most promising country, has exclusively furnished us with numerous 
genera of plants, particularly of the order Leguminose, amongst which 
our present subject ranks with conspicuous heauty. The first plant of 
this genus was discovered by Labillardiere, who was attached to the 
voyage of research, which had for its principal object the discovery of 
the lost La Perouse, and the genus thereby becomes immortalized 
by its connexion with these celebrated men. 
Prt Uebel ilies GRowN; CuLture. This very handsome 
plant J Dicl d Sons, of Edinburgh, from 
seeds received in . 1836, from Mrs. Murray of Lintrose, Forfarshire, 
having been originally imported from Swan River. Its present height, 
(January, 1839) is three feet, but it appears not unlikely to grow to 
ble this height. It flowers in the greenhouse from May to Septem- 
ber. It may be propagated either from seeds or cuttings, and should 
be planted in sandy peat and loam.
