two very small bracteole. Fiowers of the size of those of Chorozema 
rhombeum and Chorozema ovatum. Catyx green with a few very

Porutar anp GeocrapuicaL Notice. The Chorozemas are all 
natives of the south western portion of Australia from King George’s 
Sound to the Swan River, and by the graceful elegance of their flow- 
ers, fully justify the feeling with which Labillardiére and his fellow- 
travellers selected the original species to commemorate their joy on 
the occasion mentioned below. The ten or eleven species known, have 
all of them red flowers closely resembling each other in every partic- 
ular, although the foliage and general aspect divide the genus into two 
very distinct sections. The Chorozema cordatum is apt to run into 
leaf, but if well grown it equals any of the species in beauty. G. B. 
InTRODUCTION; WHERE GROWN; CuLTURE. The present species 
was received by seeds from the Colony of Swan River, by Robert Man- 
gles, Esq. and originally raised in his garden at Sunning Hill, in 1836. 
Owing to his liberality it is now to be found in many collections. Our 
drawing was made in the month of April, in the nursery of the Messrs. 
Lowe of Clapton, where an admirable collection has been made of the 
choicest plants of recent introduction; some of which we shall notice 
as soon as their natural habits have tales so far ascertained as to ena- 
ble us to do them justice. The Chorozema cordatum should have green- 
house protection, under which there is not the least difficulty in its 
management. It succeeds perfectly when potted in sandy peat, mixed 
with a small quantity of fresh loam. Cuttings of the young shoots 
strike root very quickly in sand, under a bell-glass.
