BRUCALYPTUS TREES; 515 
Tamarix Gallica, Linné.*— South Europe, North 
and tropical Africa, South Asia. This shrub adapts 
itself in the most extraordinary manner to the most 
different localities. It will grow alike in water and 
the driest soil, and is one of the most grateful and 
tractable plants in culture. It is readily multiplied 
from cuttings, which strike root as easily as a willow, 
and push forth stems with unusual vigor. Hence it 
is one of the most eligible bushes for planting on coast 
sand to stay its movements, or for linking embank- 
ments. 
Taraxacum officinale, Weber.—Dispersed over most 
of the temperate and cold parts of the globe, but ap- 
parently not a native of this part of Australia. This 
well-known plant is mentioned, as it can be brought 
under regular cultivation to obtain the medicinal ex- 
tract from its roots. It is also considered wholesome 
to pasture animals. The young leaves furnish a me- 
dicinal salad. 
Tarchonanthus camphoratus, Linné.—South Africa. 
This bush deserves attention, being of medicinal val- 
ue. As an odorous garden- plant it is also very aec- 
ceptable. 
‘Tectona grandis, Linné fil. —The Teak of South 
Asia. This superb timber-tree has its northern limit 
in Bandalkhand, at elevations of 2,000 feet, which cir- 
cumstance may encourage test-culture here. 
Terminalia Catappa, Linné. —India, ascending 
mountain regions. Few trees, asstated by Roxburgh, 
surpass this in elegance and beauty. We have yet to 
learn whether it can be naturalized here, which it es- 
pecially deserves for its nuts. Several species extend 
_in East Australia to sub-tropical latitudes. The seeds
