Tue feeds of this fpecies of Bankfia were amongft the firft which arrived from New Holland, and 
plants were raifed at the nurfery, Hammerfmith, in the fame year as the B. ferrata. To the direc- 
tions in the management and increafe of which plant, we refer our readers for the treatment of this, 
as it requires no other. It grows to the height of five, or fix feet, very bufhy from the bottom, and 
the leaves, which are harfh and numerous, are not very fubject to decay. Although it has flowered 
in mahy collections, where we have feen it, we have had no opportunity of making an accurate draw- 
ing until aft month, March 1801, from a fine plant in the colleétion of G. Hibbert Efq. Clapham.
