Jameson's Journal for April, 1833, and cannot consider it more than a 



variety of A. decipiens, differing a little in the shape of its leaves, in its 



paler flowers, and other minuter points. " It flowered very freely in the 



green-house with the usual treatment of New Holland acacias."

In this country an evergreen shrub, about as hardy as a myrtle ; seeds 

 of it are often imported from Chile. Its foliage is pleasing, and when 

 bruised effuses copiously a strong odour of turpentine. For a notice of 

 an interesting phenomenon which this -species and the others of the genus 

 display, see p. 377. {Bot. Reg., May.)

Already in Hort. Brit., as No. 9937., but without an indication of its 

 affinity, or of a figure of it. Raised in 1792, afterwards lost for many years, 

 but again raised from Cape seeds in 1829. " It flowers at various sea- 

 sons. It is exceedingly difficult to strike by cuttings ; consequently, if it 

 does not ripen its seeds, which is very unlikely, will probably be soon 

 again lost." {Bot. Cab., April.)

" We raised this elegant plant from New Holland seeds in 1830. It 

 flowei-ed in February and March, 1833, and, we think, does not yield in 

 beauty to any of this line family." {Bot. Cab., May.) 



Acrotriche ovalifolia is figured in Loddiges's Botanical Cabinet for May, 

 t. 1930., where the following remark, and others, are offered on it : — " At 

 first sight the flowers of this curious plant appear so minute as to excite 

 little interest, but when we avail ourselves of the help of a magnifying 

 glass, they are found to be exceedingly beautiful in the form and arrange- 

 ment of their parts."

" We received this plant, under the name we have adopted, from the 

 Berlin garden, but without any statements of its native country. It 

 flowered freely in the green-house in December, 1832, but is curious rather 

 than ornamental." {JDr. Graham in Jameson^s Journal for April, 1833.)

 Could the author [Cassini] of the name have had in view what his countrywomen call couleur

 sun-like figure of the expanded capitulum, and its numerous rays being quite narrow ? — J. 2).]

Apparently a very estimable addition to the list of hardy, showy, freely 

 growing perennial herbaceous plants, sent from California to the Horticul- 

 tural Society by Mr. Douglas. According to the figure, each stem is 

 terminated by about four stalked flowers (capitulums in botanic language), 

 each the size of a crown piece, or nearly so, and consisting of an intensely 

 yellow disk surrounded by about 120 long, narrow, purple rays, " It is 

 very show}', and flowers from July to October. It increases freely by the 

 parting its roots ; and it also produces seeds abundantly. Although a 

 perennial, it may also be treated as an annual ; for seedlings flower early
