VI. Report upon the New or Rare Plants which flowered 

 in the Garden of the Horticultural Society at Chiswick, 

 between March, 1825, and March, 1826. Part I. Tender 

 Plants. By Mr. John Lindley, F. L. S. fyc. Garden 

 Assistant Secretary. 



Read October 17, 1826. 



In continuation of my former Report upon the New or Rare 

 Plants which have flowered in the Garden at Chiswick, I 

 now proceed to lay the following additional information be- 

 fore the Society. In this Report, a much greater space than 

 heretofore is occupied by the Hardy Ornamental Trees and 

 Shrubs in the Garden, and as this subject is, next to that of 

 Hardy Fruits, one of the most important to which the atten- 

 tion of the Society is directed, it may be satisfactory to know, 

 that it will continue hereafter to occupy a principal part of 

 all future Reports of this kind. In conformity, however, with 

 the mode of arrangement hitherto adopted, the Tender Plants 

 of the Garden come first under consideration. These occupy 

 the First part of this Report, the Second, which will be printed 

 subsequently, containing the Hardy Plants. 



Trees or Shrubs. 

 I. Mimosa latispinosa. Lamarck. 

 M. spinis petiolaribus sparsis latissimis compressissimis rectis, foliis bipinnatis 

 demum glabris eglandulosis, pinnis 12-20-jugis inermibus, foliolis 10-15-jugis 

 elliptico-oblongis. Dec. Prodr. 2.p.43\.

 tanic Garden at the Isle of France in 1822, by Sir Robert
