New plants.—Aboard the trade ship of the Chinese laborers which Dr. Hillebrand sent for, arrived some plants which were never seen before in Hawaii, that being some banana plants [pohuli maia], unusual sweet fruits [hua momona ano e], tea  plants which we drink, orange trees [laau alani], and Cinnamon [Kinamona]. The number of plants were sixty-six; some died and those remaining were planted in the yard of the Police Magistrate [Lunakanawai Hoomalu], Montgomery. If they grow well, they will be spread here and there, because they belong to the Agricultural Society [Ahahui Mahiai].
