handsome species of Correa were collected by 
Mr. William Baxter, the indefatigable Collector of F. Hench- 
man, Esq., at Kangaroo Island, on the south coast of New Hol- 
land; from those were raised young plants in 1824, at the Nur- 
sery of Mr. J. Mackay, at Clapton, where they began flowering 
for the first time in February last; and plants of it are now for 
sale at his establishment, where many other new or rare plants 
fom New Holland have flowered this season, and others are 
continually coming into bloom. 
Seeds of this 
The present species thrives well in an equal portion of light 
turfy loam, peat, and sand, or if the loam and peat 1s very light 
the less sand will be required, and where peat earth cannot be 
readily procured, decayed leaves or very rotten dung may be 
substituted. It is a very hardy Greenhouse plant, and we believe 
would endure our Winters if planted by the side of a wall in a 
south aspect, and to be covered with a thick mat in severe frosty 
weather, but a slight frost would not injure it; it would certainly 
succeed well in the southern counties if treated in that manner. 
Cuttings of it will root readily if planted in pots of sand under 
hand-glasses or bell-glasses, or it will succeed well grafted or in- 
arched on C. alba or C. virens, particularly the former, to which 
it is nearest related. Our drawing was made from a plant at 
Mr. Mackay’s Nursery, the latter end of February. 
The genus was first named by Sir J. E. Smith, in compli- 
geet to the late M. Correa de Serra, a celebrated Portuguese 
otanist.
