Honolulu. It was introduced by Dr. Hillebrand in whose former 

 grounds it is still in existence though crowded out by large trees 

 which prevent it from receiving the necessary sunlight. It flow- 

 ers and fruits profusely. Seedlings could be started from the 

 seeds of this lone tree. Or still better, seed could be imported 

 from India in large quantities and sown broadcast in lee side 

 valleys of the Waianae Mountains and elsewhere. The bark may 

 be made use of as it contains a large amount of tannin. A tree 

 8-10 years old will yield half a ton of bark. 



Acacia catecJiu, already growing in the Territory.

Schotia latifolia, ScJiotia brachypetala, specimens growing at 

 College of Hawaii from seeds, the latter obtainable from South 

 California. Leguminous trees with handsome red flowers from

This list can be greatly extended but the above will furnish a 

 good working basis. The Consulting Botanist will at all times 

 be ready to help and furnish advice as he is in communication 

 with various botanists over the world, many of whom he knows 

 personally. He is ready to offer his services in securing these 

 seeds. 



In conclusion he wishes to emphasize the value of certain 

 species of genus Ficus for reforestation of the wet regions.
