Banksia, Robert Brown. In honour of Sir 

 Joseph Banks, Bart. Pres. E. S. ; a distin- 

 guished patron of science in general, parti- 

 cularly Natural History. Linn. 4, Or. 1, Nat. 

 Or. Proteacece. This is a handsome and in- 

 teresting genus. The species, to succeed well, 

 must he treated in the following manner re- 

 commended hy Sweet. "The pots must be 

 well drained, which should be done in the 

 following manner : — place a piece of potsherd 

 about half way over the hole at the bottom of 

 the pot, then lay another piece against it that 

 it may be hollow, afterwards put some smaller 

 pieces all around them, and some more broken 

 very small on the top of these. All plants 

 belonging to the Proteace'oz should be drained 

 in the same manner, as the roots are very fond 

 of running amongst the broken potsherds, and 

 there is not so much danger of their being 

 overwatered ; care must be taken not to let 

 them flag for want of water, as they seldom 

 recover if allowed to get very dry ; they should 

 also be placed in an airy part of the green- 

 house when in-doors, as nothing is more bene- 

 ficial to them than a free circulation of air. 

 Cuttings are generally supposed to be difficult 

 to root, but they will root readily if properly 

 managed ; let them be well ripened before 

 they are taken off ; then cut them at a joint, 

 and plant them in pots of sand, without 

 shortening any of the leaves, except on the 

 part that is planted in the sand, where they 

 should be taken off quite close, the less depth 

 they are planted in the pots the better, if they 

 only stand firm, when the sand is well closed 

 round them : then place them under hand- 

 glasses in the propagating house, but not 

 plunge them in heat, the glasses must be 

 frequently taken off to give them air, and dry 

 them, or they are apt to damp off ; when they 

 are rooted, the sooner they are potted off in 

 small pots the better, as the sand, is liable to 

 canker their roots, if left too long in it ; when 

 potted off they should he placed in a close 

 frame, but not on heat, as a bottom-heat will 

 destroy their roots, when they must be hard- 

 ened to the air by degrees. Plants raised in 

 this way have better roots, grow faster, and 

 flower sooner, than plants raised from seeds : 

 in raising them from seeds, they should" be 

 sown in the same kind of soil as the plants 

 are grown in, and placed in the greenhouse, 

 or if it is in summer they will come up sooner, 

 if placed out in the open air ; they will soon 

 make their appearance, when they should be 

 potted off in small pots, for if left in the seed 

 pots too long they are apt to die, and are more 



difficult to move with safety."
