402 HORTUS MORTOLENSIS 
out by Prof. O. Beccari. LZ. decipiens is nearer related to L. 
australis in flower and fruit, but in habit it is quite different, the 
leaves being deeply cut and filiferous. There are old plants in 
the gardens of Dr. Robertson-Proschowsky near Nice, at Villa 
Paradou, Garavan, and in several other French gardens. J. 
oliviformis is known on the Riviera as Corypha Gebanga.* 
LoMATIA. 
The Australian species succeed quite well, but not the Chilian 
Li. ferruginea. 
LoMATOPHYLLUM. 
L. macrum and L. borbonicum are rather tender, but the 
former does very well in sheltered places, as, for instance, on the 
rocks of Monaco. JZ. borbonicwm was sent us in 1907 by Dr. 
Koenig from Port Louis, Mauritius. 
LoROPETALUM CHINENSE. 
A pretty shrub; did not succeed. 
Lycaste DEpPEI. 
This orchid does quite well and flowers abundantly in the open 
at the foot of an old tree fern. We are indebted for this and 
other orchids to Dr. Hans Goldschmidt, of Essen. 
LysILOMA LATISILIQUA 
did not succeed. 
MACADAMIA TERNIFOLIA. 
Seeds were first sent to La Mortola by Mr. Daniel Hanbury in 
July, 1872. There are only young trees now at La Mortola, one 
of which first ripened fruits in 1910. The nuts have the taste of 
hazel.t There is a large specimen in the garden of Villa Hindoue 
at Garavan. What was received as M. australis from M. Geoffroy 
St. Hilaire, Gros Pin, Hyéres, will probably prove to be the same 
species. 
MACROZAMIA SPIRALIS. 
A staminate specimen was bought from Prince Troubetzkoy’s 
garden in July, 1888. 
MAGNoLia. 
M. grandiflora was bought from Messrs. Huber & Co., of 
Hyéres, in December, 1867. This tree, though quite vigorous, 
does not succeed so well here as in cooler and moister parts of 
Italy. M. pumila only grows with difficulty. 
Under the name of M. inodora we grow an evergreen bush, 
with coriaceous and glossy, lanceolate acute, undulate leaves. 
The flowers, which have not appeared for many years, are white 
and much smaller than those of M. grandiflora. It is evidently
