 *neapolitana Lodd. 

 The last 4 species, 

 although they will 

 endure the generality 

 of our winters with- 

 out protection, are 

 apt to suffer should 

 the thermometer fall 

 below 10° Fahr, 

 Gnidiai. 

 *imberbis B. M.

These two ai'e often 

 confounded together 

 in gardens, 

 sericea Willd. Wants 

 more protection than 

 the two preceding. 

 Dais L. 



cotinifolia B. M. 



A beautiful plant, 

 which deserves to be 

 in every collection.

And perhaps all the 

 others, but I have not 

 had the opportunity 

 of trying ; the above 

 will bear 6° frost.

And several others 

 of this heterogeneous 

 family. Nature seems 

 to have mixed up in 

 this the forms of all 

 other genera ; and to 

 have embellished it at 

 the same time with 

 some of the most 

 conspicuous as well 

 as inconspicuous of 

 flowers.

Hovea purpurea has stood the winter with the thermometer at zero, with 

 only a little fern thrown over it, in the open border, though the shoots are 

 killed back half-way. Grevillea rosmarinifolia has proved itself here a hardy 

 evergreen, at least as hardy as a common laurel. 



Since writing the above list of Kennedya, I find K. inophylla (Zichya) 

 the hardiest of this division, next coccinea, then pannosaj tricolor, glabrata, 

 and another I am not certain of, are very tender. The hardenbergias are the 

 hardiest, especially Hugelw. Kennedya Stirling^ is rather tender, as are also 

 MaxvykttcB and angustifolia; splendens appears to be the hardiest of all. 



species belonging to the genus, except perhaps it may be speciosa, which 

 appears to me the tenderest. Although I have only enumerated the above in 

 VroieacecB, yet I am convinced, from my knowledge of the order, that the 

 greater number of the species would thrive against such a wall as the Chats- 

 worth one. I see, from my herbarium, and notes taken of above 200 species 

 of this order, that I have marked nearly 100 of them as half-hardy, or such 

 as will stand, when well protected, against a wall.
