15 



It is a handsome species, and occurs in forests in the North and South 

 Islands, from the sea-level to 3,000 feet, thus being rather more hardy than 

 the preceding species. It yields a valuable timber. 



Not in the Sydney Botanic Gardens. 



(7.) P. latifolia, Wall. Is an Indian species with handsome broad leaves 

 (say over an inch broad and 4 inches long), reminding one very much of an 

 Agathis. It should do in the warmer parts of coastal New South Wales. 



(8.) P. Blumei, Endl. 



From the Philippines has even larger leaves. Perhaps it could succeed 

 here also. 



(9.) P. neriifolia, Don. (Syn. P. macrophyllus, Wall non Don). The 

 " Oleander-leaved Podocarpus." 



See Bot. Mag. t. 4655. 



A much branched shrub or small tree from the temperate Himalayas, also 

 Burma, Malaysia, <fcc. It should do in the Sydney district. 



(10.) P. bracteata, Blume. 



Native of Java and South Sea Islands. Seemann gives the Fijian 

 vernacular as " Gagali." 



With handsome foliage and a fair-sized tree. 



M 17 (Sydney Botanic Gardens). It is in too crowded a locality to do 

 justice to it. 



(11.) P- cupressina, R.Br. 

 Burma and Malaysia. 



A tree of medium size in Sydney ; would be larger if it had better soil 

 and more room. It evidently is of some promise for eastern New South 

 Wales. 



M 17 (Sydney Botanic Gardens). 



(12.) P. vitiensis, Seemanri. " Kau solo" of Fiji. 



Figured and described in the Flora Vitiensis. Seemann describes it as 

 one of the finest Coniferae he has ever seen. It is a tall tree in its native 

 islands, with specially handsome foliage. In the Sydney Botanic Gardens it 

 is a beautiful, medium-sized tree. It would be a great acquisition to the 

 warmer coast districts. 



L 20 d (Sydney Botanic Gardens). 



(13.) P. Nageia, R.Br. "Nagi" of the Japanese. 



A medium sized tree, which has been cultivated in Japan from time 

 immemorial. 



" With the Japanese it is a great favourite, especially a variety in which 

 the leaves are marked with broad white stripes, and this they use for 

 dwarfing and pot culture." (Veitch.)
