It is a very elegant greenhouse shrub; and arises with stiff erect slender branches to the height of several feet, and does not flower when young.
The Flax-leaved Mimosa is propagated chiefly by seeds, and either not at all, or with great difficulty, from cuttings; and is usually cultivated in light rich earth.
The individual here represented flowered very fine in the month of May at Mrs. Wright’s, Bayswater; where our drawing was made.[Pg 69]
