A96 FOREST CULTURE AND 
Liquidambar orientalis, Miller.* (. imberbe, Ai- 
ton.) Asia Minor. Also this tree yields liquid Sto- 
rax, which is vanilla-scented, containing much Cuma- 
rin, and thus used for imparting scent to some sorts 
of tobacco and cigars, also for keeping moths from 
woolen clothing. Its use in medicine is more limited 
than in perfumery. 
Lotus corniculatus, Linné.* Birdsfoot - trefoil.— 
Europe, North Africa, North and Middle Asia, extra- 
tropical Australia. A deep - rooting perennial herb, 
readily - growing on pasture land, sandy links, and 
heathy places. This plant is well deserving cultiva- 
tion on light, inferior soil, on which it will yielda 
greater bulk of herbage than any of the other culti- 
vated clovers ; it is highly nutritious, and eaten with 
avidity by cattle. From the great depth to which its 
roots penetrate it is not liable to be injured by drought. 
The nearly-allied L. major yields a still greater amount 
of herbage; it is particularly suited for bushy and 
moist localities, and it attains its greatest luxuriance 
on soils which have some peat in their composition 
(Lawson). Here in Australia this Lotus shows a de- 
cided predilection for wet meadows. 
Lotus Tetragonolobus, Linné. — Countries on the 
Mediterranean Sea. Though annual, this herb is 
highly valued for sheep-pastures. The allied L. sili- 
quosus (Linné) is perennial, and occurs in a succulent 
form on sea-coasts. 
Lycium Afrum, Linn¢é. — Africa and south-west 
Asia. Can with many other species be utilized as a 
hedge-bush. 
Lycopedium dendroideum, Michaux.--North Am- 
erica, This, with L. lucidulum (Michaux), has become
