The plant here reprefented, is a native <strong>of</strong> Falkland's Ifland,<br />
and was introduced to this country by Dr. FOTHERGILL,<br />
about the year 1776; if permitted to grow, it will become a<br />
bufhy {hrub <strong>of</strong> a confiderable fize : it has been chiefly ad*<br />
Inired for the unufual and regular growth <strong>of</strong> its leaves, which<br />
are ever-green, and grow thickly on the branches, cr<strong>of</strong>s-wife,<br />
affording an excellent example <strong>of</strong> the folia decuj/ata s but it is<br />
entitled to our admiration on another account, its bl<strong>of</strong>foms<br />
have a m<strong>of</strong>t delicious fragrance (firnilar to that <strong>of</strong> the Olea<br />
jragfans] not mentioned by authors, and we believe fcarcely<br />
known, having never heard it fpoken <strong>of</strong> by th<strong>of</strong>e who have<br />
Cultivated the plant ; its flowers, which are whites are pro<br />
duced on the tops <strong>of</strong> the branches, which, however, they do<br />
»ot ftriftly terminate, but ufually grow out juft below the<br />
fumrhits, on {hott racemi ; the corolla is fometimes divided<br />
into five fegmcnts, and there is a greater equality in the feg*<br />
feients than is ufually found in the flowers <strong>of</strong> the Veronica, the<br />
leed-vefiel differs alfo in its form, being longer, more oval, and<br />
fcarcely emarginate ; thefe feveral deviations from the ftrufture<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Veronica genus, joined to the fragrance <strong>of</strong> the bl<strong>of</strong>lbms<br />
this plant, induce us to think, that it has mdre affinity with<br />
we Olea above mentioned. v<br />
Cultivators complain, that it does- not blow freely ; without<br />
finy peculiarity <strong>of</strong> treatment, it flowers with us every year,<br />
die middle <strong>of</strong> June ; it is one <strong>of</strong> the more hardy green*<br />
°uk pllants,<br />
which is ufually and readily increafed by cuttings.
