Grevillea rosmarinifolia, an elegant shrub, proved perfectly hardy at Fal- 

 mouth, and at Carclew, where it grows and flowers abundantly in the open 

 border, G. juniperina was killed in the former place. 



GooDiA lotifoUa was killed at Sketty, though unhurt by the previous winter. 



Hakea acicularis and linearis lived without sustaining injury in the open 

 ground at Kilkenny. H, macrocar-pa was untouched upon a wall at Bicton, 

 H. ceratophyUa, and H. pugioniformis, both of which had been out for two 

 years, were killed at Carclew. 



Kennedya himaculata, 16 or 17 years old, in the conservatory at SpoiForth, 

 was killed to the ground, but it sprung up again. K. monophylla was killed 

 at Falmouth. 



Domatia longifolia was cut down at Redleaf. 



Leptospermum lanigerimi, against a wall, was not materially injured at 

 Sketty. L. ambiguum, a beautiful shrub 8 feet high, in a sheltered situ- 

 ation at the corner of the garden at Carclew, was uninjured. L. obovatum 

 lived without protection at Kilkenny. Several species are said to have 

 lived against a wall at Belfast without suiFering. In Mr. Fox's garden, at 

 Falmouth, a Leptospermum, called mnbiguum, has been growing for 17 

 years, and is 10 feet high, flowering abundantly in the summer. 



Melaleuca ht/jjericifolia, incana^ and decussata, which had been trained 

 against a south wall at Carclew, had their bark split from the points of the 

 branches to the root, and consequently were killed. A species of this 

 genus is mentioned by Mr. Robertson as having been uninjured in the open 

 ground at Kilkenny. M. decussata, pubescens, ericifolia, and depressa, sur- 

 vived with Mr. Fox, at Falmouth ; but the hypericifolia was killed even 

 there. 



PoMADERRis elUptica was killed at Bicton. 



SoLLYA heteropliylla, although it had survived several previous winters, was 

 killed very generally. At Carclew, in front of the stove, the old stem 

 escaped, but the branches were destroyed ; although much injured, it re- 

 covered during the summer. 



Tristania laurifolia was killed under a verandah at SpofForth ; it was unin- 

 jured under a cold frame at Sketty. 



Veronica decussata was generally killed. At Carclew it had stood for years 

 without injury in the shrubbery, but was killed to the ground with the ex- 

 ception of a few small twigs ; it however lived at Falmouth. 



Westringia rosmarinifolia, in the same situation as the last, was killed at 

 Carclew. 



" CALIFORNIA and MEXICO. 



Abies grandis, nobilis, and amabilis, all proved hardy, even in the Society's 



Garden. 

 Berberis dealbata, a Mexican evergreen, in the open border in the Society's 



Garden, was killed to the ground ; but it came up again vigorously. A 

 ' plant against an east wall sustained little injury. 

 BouvARDiA tripliylla was generally killed, unless at Carclew, where it 



becomes an herbaceous plant, flowering late every season in the open 



border. 

 Crat^gus mexicana in the Society's Garden was much damaged as a 



standard, but only slightly on a south wall ; it was uninjured as a standard 



at Sketty. 

 Ceanothus azureus, of which there were fine old plants on a south wall in 



the Society's Garden, was killed to the ground, but sprung up again. At 



North Stoneham it perished entirely. At Carclew the young shoots of a 



plant in the shrubbery were killed back to the old wood ; but it recovered. 

 Cerasus CapolUm was killed in the Society's Garden as an open standard, but 



was uninjured against a south wall. 

 Dendbomecon rigiduvi, a small shrub, and the only specimen in the country, 



was killed in the Society's Garden under a glass covering protected by mats.
