Pam LILIES (CORDYLINES). 
The Club or Cabbage Palm of New Zealand and Australia; 
has a deep tap-root and spreading rootlets near. the surface. 
No tree suggests the tropics as does the palm; none the 
extra-tropical as the palm-lily. In height and general ap- 
pearance the two trees are so similar that in scientific and 
popular language the term palm is applied to both. It is of 
high interest that the two grow alongside at Cromla. 
I. Cordyline australis, Hooker (C. superbiens, Koch).— 
“Specimens have been found in New Zealand 60 feet high 
and 16 feet in girth at base” (Koch). -‘‘This species of 
Cordyline is prone to vary, and is now recognised as including 
the old indivisa; and lineata is only a gardener’s form of it, 
as are other named forms” (Professor I. Bayley. Balfour).
