many of the species are known as Daisy trees. Only two 
have hitherto been figured in the Boranitcan Macazing, 
namely, O. Gunniana (Tab. 4638), a Tasmanian species, 
which has been cultivated for many years against a wall at 
Kew (where, however, it does not thrive) ; and O. dentata 
(Tab. 5973), a very beautiful plant, a native of New 
South Wales, and which after standing for several years, 
I believe, in the open air at Kew, was killed by the cold 
winter of 1870. It was figured from plants cultivated in 
Scilly, where I hope it still lives. ee 
O. Haastii has been cultivated in England ever since its 
first introduction, but has not, as far as | am aware, 
reached the arboreous dimensions which it attains in New 
Zealand. It flowers in August and September.
