weeping willow and is one of the most graceful trees in 

 the country. The casuarina has been removed from the 

 coast to our compounds, and the sonneratia is quite as 

 deserving.

Two or more species of the dragon tree, resembling 

 small areca palms are seen in Burmese compounds, but

FRAGRANT MORINDA. 



The most agreeably fragrant flowered shrub with which 

 I ever met in the Karen forests, is a species of morinda, 

 that has not yet found its way into cultivation. The 

 flowers are small, in dense heads, like other members of 

 the genus, azure purple externally, but white within : 

 and have only four anthers, like a species described by 

 Jack which he found on the Malay Islands 

 Morinda, 



FRAGRANT LIMOMIA. 



On all the lands near the mouths of the rivers that are 

 occasionally overflowed by tide waters, a very handsome 

 Bhrub of the orange family, with a fragrant white flower, 

 and a small fruit like a lemon in miniature, is quite com- 

 mon ; and ought to have a place in our garden plots 

 Limonia. 



TARIEGATED CROTON. 



This shrub with handsome variegated leaves as some- 

 times seen in gardens. 



Codlamm chrysosticton*
