350 FOREST CULTURE AND 
81. Var. Caillet Blanche. — Fruit almost white ; 
produced annually and copiously, yielding a rather. 
superior oil. 
382. Var. Raymet.—Fruit large, reddish. Oil copi- 
ous and fine. This variety prefers flat country. 
33. Var. Cotignac. Pardigniere. Fruit middle- 
sized, blunt. Oil obtained in quantity, and of excel-

Onobrychis sativa, La Marck.* — The Sanfoin or 
Cocks-head plant. South and Middle Europe, Mid-

fond of marly soil, and living in dry localities. It is 
thus well-adapted, also, for the limestone formation 
of the lower Murray River. 
Ophelia Chirata, Grisebach. (Agathotes Chirata, ~

the best. Besides O. elegans, Wight., some of the 
other Upper Indian, Chinese, and Japanese species 
deserve probably equal attention. 
Opuntia coccinellifera, Miller.—Mexico and West
