EUCALYPTUS TREES. 477 
Dolichos uniflorus, Lamarck. — Tropical and sub- 
tropical Africa and Asia. An annual herb, well adapt- 
ed for stable pulse. 
Drimys Winteri, R. and G. Forster.—Extra-tropi- 
cal South America. Canelo of Chile, sacred under the 
name of Boighe to the original inhabitants. Attains, 
in river-valleys, a height of 60 feet. The wood nev- 
er attacked by insects (Dr. Philippi) ; thus the Aus- 
tralian species may be equally valuable. 
Elzagnus parvifolius, Royle.—From China to the 
Himalayas. This bush has been introduced as a 
hedge-plant in North America, and, according to Mr. | 
Meehan, promises great, permanent success, as it 
achieved already a high popularity in this respect. 
Several other species might well be experimented on 
in the same manner. 
Elegla nuda, Kunth.—South Africa. A rush able 
with its long root to bind moving sand; it also affords 
good material for thatching (Dr. Pappe). Many of the 
tall Restiaceze of South Africa would prove valuable 
for scenic effect in the gardens and conservatories, 
and among these may specially be mentioned Can- 
namois cephalotes, Beauv. 
Embothrium coccineum, R. and G. Forster.—From 
Chile to Magellan’s Straits. The Notra or Ciruelillo 
of Chile. A tree of exquisite beauty, but seldom 
extending to beyond 30 feet in height. The wood is 
utilized for furniture. E. lanceolatum is merely a 
variety (Dr. Philippi). The equally gorgeous E, 
emarginatum of the Peruvian Andes, and E. Wick- 
hami from Mount Bellenden, Ker, of North Queens- 
land, deserve, with the East Australian allied Steno- 
carpus sinuatus, a place in any sheltered gardens or 
parks of the warm temperate zone.
