cracked and injured, and the plant became healthy j K. vertidllata,y^\i\c!a. 

 had been out for several years, and was about 15 feet high, was greatly da- 

 maged ; in the course of the summer it made an effort to grow again, but 

 ultimately died ; A. diffusa against the front of the stove seemed uncon- 

 scious of the cold ; every plant of A. lophantha died. The latter and A, 

 nigricans were killed even at Falmouth. At Kilkenny A. longiJoUa, armatay 

 lentiscifolia, marginata, decurrens, melanoxylon, dealbata and verticillata were 

 uninjured. 



Anthocercis viscosa was killed in the Isle of Wight. 



Aster argophylhis, of which there was a large shrub at Carclew, had the bavk 

 split all over it ; it was killed to the ground, but sprung up again. This 

 species also died in the Isle of Wight ; but in the garden of Mr. Fox, at 

 Falmouth, where it has lived seven years, and flowers freely, it was un- 

 hurt. 



Banksia littoralis had stood on a south wall in the Society's Garden for 2 or 

 3 winters, but now died. B. oblongifolia was killed in Mr. Fox's Falmouth 

 garden ; but B. eiicifolia, which had grown there as a hardy shrub for 5 

 years, was untouched. 



Beaufortia decussata was killed in Mr. Fox's mild garden, at Falmouth. 



BiLLARDiERA longifoUa, at the foot of a south wall at Glasgow, was un- 

 touched ; it also appears to have borne the winter at Kilkenny and Abbots- 

 bury without damage. 



Callitris ciipressiformis, at Carclew, was all killed except one plant, which 

 was very much injured; the latter quite recovered. 



Cassinia rosmarinifolia was killed at Bicton. 



CoRREA alba, after having thriven in an open border at Sketty without any 

 protection for six years, was killed by the winter of 1836-7, and another 

 strong plant which was put out in the following spring also perished this 

 winter. At Carclew, trained to the front wall of a greenhouse, the branches 

 which projected from the wall only were killed. In the shrubbery at this 

 place, owing to its being more stunted, the points of the shoots were all 

 that suffered. It was quite uninjured in the open ground at Kilkenn}'. C. 

 speciosa escaped in a conservatory at Spofforth, where Dillwynia ericifolia 

 was destroyed. The species of this genus are cultivated in Mr. Fox's garden 

 at Falmouth as hardy shrubs. 



Carmichaelia australis, though not much injured by the winter of 1836-7, 

 was killed to the ground at Skett}', and even, trained to a terrace wall 

 with an eastern exposure at Carclew, it suffered severely. It also died in 

 the Botanic Garden of Belfast. 



Casuarina equisetifoUa and stricta were killed on a south wall in the Society's 

 Garden ; the latter had been there for 7 or 8 winters. 



Calothamnus quadrijida lived in Mr. Fox's garden, at Falmouth. 



Callistemon lanceolatus was only damaged in the Isle of Wight; this species 

 and some others, trained against an east wall where it flowers freely, was 

 slightly injured at Carclew, where other kinds in the shrubbery were rusty, 

 but the branches were unhurt ; in Mr. Fox's garden, at Falmouth, it has 

 lived for 20 years as a hardy shrub ; in the Society's Garden it was killed 

 on a south wall. Callistemon sj^eciosus appears to have lived on a south 

 wall at Kilkenn}'. 



Doryanthes excelsa, planted out 5 years, v/as killed at Bicton. 



DiANELLA ccendea was killed to the ground at Carclew, but sprang again. 



Dillwynia ericifolia perished in a conservatory at Spofforth. 



Eugenia australis, and Eutaxia myrtifolia, were both killed in Mr, Fox's gar- 

 den, at Falmouth. 



Eucalyptus pidverulenta was killed at Carclew, although protected by a 

 double covering of mats. E. alpina, li foot high, was found alive 6 inches 

 above the surface at Norwich, having been protected by the snow. All the 

 species died in the Society's Garden, some of them having been fine spe- 

 cimens. At Kilkenny, E. pidvigera was uninjured on a naked south wall.
