 plant at least twice the height above spoken of; and, as to flowering, it appears 

 now to flower at every branch it makes. — John Standish. Bagshot, Dec. 7.

A pretty little shrub, with white bell-shaped flowers, and small narrow dark 

 green leaves. It is commonly called Pernetty« ^hillyreifolia in the nurseries. 

 It is a native of the Falkland Isles, and is very hardy ; but, like all other 

 plants of the same genus, it is easily killed by extremes of drought and mois- 

 ture. It succeeds best with American plants in a peat border ; and it is 

 propagated by cuttings, which must be treated like those of heaths. " They 

 should be potted in brown peaty soil, with very little sand in it." (^Bot. Reg., 

 November ; and Bot. Gard., December.)
