BURTONIA CONFERTA. 



Class, Decandria. Order, Monogynia. 



Leguminos.e. 



Native of New Holland. — Propagation, cuttings. 



A pretty evergreen shrub, worthy a place in all

Soie. — Sandy turfy peat, with a small portion of 

 decomposed horsedung and a little cally sand. The 

 plant should be placed on a shelf as near the glass 

 as possible, and have a free circulation of air. It 

 is apt to spindle up, therefore pinch out the head of 

 each shoot to keep it bushy. Give the pot a good 

 drainage and a proper supply of water : on this 

 depends the success of cultivation of this plant. 

 Never allow the ball to get dry or to be soddened 

 with water.
