Knight, of the King’s-road, where a fine plant of it was entire- 
ly covered with its golden coloured flowers, which were also very 
fragrant, the scent very much resembling the kernels of Almonds ; 
it is certainly one of the finest species of the genus, 1n our op1- 
nion superior to A. pubescens,which it most resembles, and which 
was in full flower by its side at the same time, the present be- 
ing amore robust growing plant, with longer leaves, and its ra- 
cemes of flower heads being generally in panicles; it is also near- 
ly related to A. dealbata, with which we believe it is sometimes 
confused; those, with some other species, have a very different 
appearance from the generality of the New Holland species, which 
may be considered leafless, the footstalk being widened out into a 
sort of leaf, and generally termed and understood as such ; 
one of those is A. Oxycedrus, published in our last number. 
The present species may be considered as one of the most de- 
sirable plants for a large Greenhouse or Conservatory, and would 
also succeed well in a warm border by the side of a wall, in a 
sheltered situation, so as to be covered with a mat in severe frosty 
weather ; where, from its handsome foliage, and beautiful fragrant 
flowers, it would make a grand appearance, and would well re- 
pay for a little extra trouble ; in the southern counties, where the 
common Myrtle succeeds well in the open air without protection, 
there, we believe, the present, and many other New Holland plants, 
would thrive in the same manner.
