Tue Pittosporam undulatum is a new plant, introduced into this country in the year 1793 from New 
Holland, where it is a native. It rises with ashrubby stem, which is branched above, to the height 
of several feet. Its branches are adorned with a fine undulated foliage that is rigid to the touch; and 
are terminated, in the’ month of May, with bunches of whitish flowers. 
Is as yet a very rare species, and is raised from imported seeds; and likewise by cuttings. Requires, 
and thrives well with, the common treatment of a green-house or conservatory plant; and deserves a 
. place in every extensive collection. Our drawing was made from a specimen in the Nursery of 
Messrs. €olvil, in the King’s Road.
