the genus Grevlllec. — Sphenotoma (sphend, to connect or bind, tomosy a 

 slice or section) gracilis ; Epacridese. A small, branching, evergreen, heath- 

 like shrub, with recurved leaves and white flowers j of easy culture in 

 sandy peat soil. 



N^o. XI I. for 3£at/, contains 

 45 to 48. — Hakea ferruginea. A hardy, stout, evergreen shrub, that, 

 very likely, will be found as hardy as the common camellia. It was raised 

 at Bury Hill, and is a very free and abundant bloomer, in light turfy loam, 

 peat, and sand, with the pots well drained with sherds at the bottom, that 

 the roots may not become sodden with too much moisture. " Ripened cut- 

 tings, planted under hand-glasses, in sand, in a cool situation, will strike 

 root freely." — Lechenaultm oblata. A pretty little, suffirutescent, heath- 

 like bush, with bright orange flowers, raised in the Bury Hill garden. 

 " It is a very desirable plant for the green-house, being nearly always in 

 flower, and of free growth, thriving well in a mixture of light turfy loam, 

 peat, and sand ; and young cuttings root freely, planted under bell-glasses 

 or hand-glasses." — Leucopogon (leukos, white, pogon, a beard ; white limb 

 of corolla) lanceolatus. A small, branching, upright, evergreen shrub, from the 

 neighbourhood of Port Jackson. "It well deserves a place in the green-house, 

 where it makes a fine appearance in February and March, when covered 

 with its elegant spikes of sweet-scented flowers. It is a hardy green-house 

 shrub, only requiring protection from frost, and thriving well in a mixture 

 of light turfy loam, peat, and sand, with the pots well drained at the bottom, 

 that the wet may pass off readily. Young cuttings, planted in pots of sand, 

 under bell-glasses, strike root freely ; as soon as rooted, they require to be 

 potted off singly in small pots, and to be protected under frames or a hand- 

 glass, for a few days, until they have begun to root afresh. They then must be 

 hardened to the air by degrees." — Boronia alata ; J?utaceae. A handsome, 

 strong-growing, upright shrub or small tree, with pinnate leaves, and red 

 flowers tipped with green. Discovered by A. Menzies, Esq. F.L.S. &c., 

 but raised for the first time in this country in the Clapton nursery, from 

 seeds sent home by Mr. Baxter. " Several species of this handsome genus 

 have at last been introduced into this country, where the B. pinnata was 

 for a long time the only solitary species ; there are yet many other species 

 to be introduced that are already known, and, doubtless, numerous others 

 that have not yet been discovered. The present species thrives well in a 

 mixture of one third light sandy loam, and two thirds peat, and requires 

 the protection of a green-house or conservatory in winter ; and young cut- 

 tings planted in sand, under bell-glasses, will strike root."
