attain a great height; it is one of the very few eatable fruits that 
are native of New Holland, and is, of itself, not very agreeable

and peat, and young cuttings, planted in sand, under bell-glasses, 
strike root readily ; it may also be raised from seeds, which are 
produced in great abundance.

Mackay, at Clapton, last Summer. 
The genus was named by Sir J. E. Smith, the late President 
of the Linnean Society, in honour of J. J. Labillardiere, the cele- 
brated French Naturalist, who accompanied the expedition in 
search of La Peyrouse.
