D This fpecies of Embothrium was introduced to Britain at the fame time as the Silky Embothrium,of our fecond volume, plate 100; and has been confidered but as a third variety of it, by Dr. Smith,in his Firfl: Number of New Holland Botany, page 23. But the total difference in the habit of theplant, except in the fliape of the flowers, has induced us to give it a fpecific title. It grows to theheight of five or fix feet, not very bushy; abounding through the whole year in a fucceflion of flowers,which proceed from the young branches; ripe feed being produced upon the plant at the fame fhould be planted in light landy peat, and kept in a dry part of the green-houfe, as the youngerbranches are apt to fuller from damps in the months of December and January. Our drawing wasmade at the Hammerfmith nurfury, in the year 1900, about the month of July. ££- : _ J OY. b _ PLATE CCLXXIII. LOBELIA PINIFOLIA. Pine-leaved Lobelia. CLASS XIX. ORDER MONOGAMIA.
