This shrub, when four or five feet high and in full bloom, 
which it usually is about November, forms the most singular 
and pleasing ornament for the conservatory that we know 
of, especially when care has been taken to top the branches, 
so as to render it close and bushy. It is a hardy ereen- 
house-plant; easily multiplied by cuttings ; thriving onl 
in peat-earth, Introduced by Mr. George Hibbert, in 
whose botanical establishment at Clapham it was raised in 
the year 1800, from seed sent from New South Wales, of 
which and Van Diemen’s Land, it is a native. The Bank- 
sian Herbarium has specimens from both countries, in. 
which we perceived nothing that suggested the idea of the 
two plants belonging to distinct species.
