grow again, but ultimately died ; A. diffusa against the front 

 of the stove seemed unconscious of the cold ; every plant of 

 A. lophantha died. The latter and A. nigricans were killed 

 even at Falmouth. At Kilkenny A. longifolia, armata, lentis- 

 cifolia, marginata, decurrens, melanoxylon, dealbata and verti- 

 cillata were uninjured. 



Anthocercis viscosa was killed in the Isle of Wight. 



Aster argopliyllus, of which there was a large shrub at Carclew, 

 had the bark split all over it ; it was killed to the ground, 

 but sprung up again. This species also died in the Isle of 

 Wight ; but in the garden of Mr. Fox, at Falmouth, where it 

 has lived seven years, and flowers freely, it was unhurt. 



Bank si a littoralis had stood on a south wall in the Society's Gar- 

 den for 2 or 3 winters, but now died. B. oblongifolia was 

 killed in Mr. Fox's Falmouth garden ; but B. ericifolia, which 

 had grown there as a hardy shrub for 5 years, was untouched. 



Beaufortia decussata was killed in Mr. Fox's mild garden, at 

 Falmouth. 



Billardiera longifolia, at the foot of a south wall at Glasgow, was 

 untouched ; it also appears to have borne the winter at Kil- 

 kenny and Abbotsbury without damage. 



Callitris cnpressiformis, at Carclew, was all killed except one 

 plant, which was very much injured ; the latter quite re- 

 covered. 



Cassinia rosmarinifolia was killed at Bicton. 



Correa alba, after having thriven in an open border at Sketty 

 without any protection for six years, was killed by the winter 

 of 1836-7, and another strong plant which was put out in the 

 following spring also perished this winter. At Carclew, trained 

 to the front wall of a greenhouse, the branches which pro- 

 jected from the wall only were killed. In the shrubbery at 

 this place, owing to its being more stunted, the points of the 

 shoots were all that suffered. It was quite uninjured in the
