e thewhole habit is fo totally different in each fpecies, as we here find it. This plant, until it flowered, wasconfidered as a fpecies of Canchlum, (one of the Genera made by Dr. Smith from Bankfia,) as nighcftin appearance to fome fpecies of that Genus. It has flowered, for the firft time in England, in themonth of October, 1802. The plant being fet in the confervatory at the Hammerlmith-Nurfery, the.flowers have continued to fucceed each other, progreffively, upon the young branches, without inter-mifiion, as the fhoot grows, from the bafe of each leaf. It is with great difficulty raifed by cuttings;but, from every appearance, feed will be procured in this country; as the feed-buds hive already be-come pretty large, and feeds of the other fpecies have matured with us. It was firlt raifed from feed,communicated by Colonel Paterson, from Tort Jackfon, New South Wales, in the year 1/95. Sandyloam, or a mixture of fandy peat and loam, is the foil it molt, approves.
