The creepers and 1 ambling shrubs are many, and as most of 

 them have fine masses of flowers, they enhance the beauty of the 

 bush considerably. There are four very fine ones which flower 

 during May and June, Senccio tamoides, S. deltoides, S. angulatus, 

 and Veronia angulifolia. Other two Senecio creepers are S. mac- 

 roglossus and .$'. quinquelobus. Besides these there are Smilax

There is, naturally, a dense undergrowth in parts, and here a 

 very great variety of plants is to be found. Pavonia dregei and 

 Barleria obtusa are two very common and pretty shrubs. Barter ia 

 obtusa often resembles a climber or a wild rambling shrub, and 

 its sprays of blue flowers look extremely handsome and effective 

 against the green foliage of the trees or neighbouring shrubs. Two 

 other handsome flowering undershrubs are Tlypoestes antennifera , 

 whose purple blooms are very pretty and conspicuous, and Leonotis 

 leonurus, a shrubby plant with bright orange coloured flowers, 

 blooming during the early winter months. Other undershrubs 

 and herbaceous plants are: Priva leptostachya, Plectranth us laxi-
