Ov^er 70 species of this well-defined genus have been described. Not many 

 of them are at their best in the Sydney district, but most of them will

 we confine our attention, in this State, almost exclusively to P. radiata

 The seed is quite cheap, and caii readily be imported if local seedsmen do not 

 have that of any particular species in stock.
