with a channel on the upper keel, point flat and 3-lobed. 
Seeds 2, black, winged on the upper end and on one side, 
with a large flat membranaceous wing. 
Our drawing of this very fragrant species was made last 
Spring from a fine large bushy Shrub, about twelve feet high, 
and entirely covered with its sweet-scented flowers, and cap- 
sules, at the same time, in the grand Conservatory of J. J. An- 
gerstein, Esq. of Woodlands, near Blackheath, where many fine 
Conservatory plants have attained a large size, and grow as 
luxuriantly as if in their native woods. The greater part of the 
species of this genus are free flowering plants, and most of 
them bear sweet-scented flowers, so that they are desirable plants 
for a Conservatory or large Greenhouse, but they will thrive 
better in pots than when turned out in the ground, as will the 
greater part of plants belonging to Proreaces. As for our- 
selves, we do not agree with planting out plants in a Conserva- 
tory at all, as they soon grow out of all bounds, and the strong 
growing sorts very soon overrun and spoil the more choice and 
tender sorts. It is certainly much better to grow them in pots 
or tubs, which may be made as large as required for the strong 
growing sorts; those may be plunged in white sand, which gives 
a neat appearance ; and the plants can be moved once a year or 
oftener, if required, to keep the tallest plants in their proper 
situations ; the plants will also flower better in large pots, than 
when turned out in the ground: in this manner the plants were 
managed at Woodlands when Mr. Stewart had the care of 
them, many of which were at that time the finest specimens in 
the country, and flowered there for the first time, but we are 
sorry to see so few of them remaining at present. 
The present species is of free growth, and thrives well in an 
equal portion of turfy loam, peat, and sand, with the pots well 
drained, that the moisture may pass off readily; ripened cut- 
tings, taken off at a joint, and planted in pots of sand, placed 
under a hand-glass, and shaded from the sun, will root readily ; 
it may also be raised from seeds. 
The genus was named by Schrader, in honour of Baron 
Christian Lewis Hake. !
