Grows naturally in the island of Madeira, and has been 
known in the dutch gardens according to Commelin from 
1693, in the english from about 1724. No plant presents 
itself more constantly in our greenhouses than this. The 
bright lively hue of its evergreen foliage, the fragrance and 
long succession of the bloom, render it a favourite with all 
gardeners. When planted in the border of a conservatory 
it may be trained to the height of 20 feet aud more, and 
will frequently ripen its berries, which are about the size, 
form, and colour of a small common black cherry. Our 
milder winters do not destroy it when planted in a warm 
border against a southern wall; and so treated it thrives 
better than in any other situation,
