SOME INTERESTING WOODY PLANTS IN THE 
BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN 
he following plants are noteworthy because of their scarcity in 
cultivation or their ability to survive in this climate. In most cases 
they are growing in protected situations and many of them are 
given a light covering of burlap over winter. The majority of the 
plants are on their limit of hardiness and it is doubtful whether 
they could survive farther north. 
BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREENS 
Bupleurum fruticosum (Umbelliferae). A sparsely-branched 
shrub with gray-green leaves and glaucous branches. Of special 
interest in that it is the only woody member of the Parsley Family 
that will grow this far north. Plants four years old average three 
to four feet in height. 
Elaeagnus pungens (llaeagnaceae). A shrub from Japan with 
handsome foliage that is dull white on the undersurface. The 
abundant white flowers are produced in October and November 
and are delightfully fragrant. 
Plant about twenty years old, seven 
feet high.
