(4 ) A. CooJcii, R.Br. " Captain Cook's Pine." 



Figured as ^4. columnaris, Hook, in Bot. Mag. t. 4635. See also Nouv. 

 ArcJiiv. du Museum, t. vii, pi. 14. 



The foliage is very similar to that of the Norfolk Island Pine, but its habit 

 is very different. 



Native of New Caledonia and the New Hebrides. A handsome species 

 which does well in the Sydney Botanic Gardens, e.g., M 7, 17, 19 ; L 7. 

 There are some fine specimens at Bondi, Hyde, and other places. 



Certain horticultural varieties are recognised, e.g., vars. pendula, Saoulei, 

 rigida. 



(5.) A. Rulei, F.v.M. "Rule's Pine." See Lindley in Gard. Chron., 

 1861, p. 861, with figures (the original drawings of the species) ; also Nouv. 

 Arcn. du Museum, t. vii, p. 16. 



Native of New Caledonia. 



Resembles the Chili Pine (A. imbricata) a good deal in external 

 appearance. It is worthy of further experiment, especially along the North 

 Coast, for it was reported by its discoverer in language indicating its super- 

 lative beauty. It will not stand exposure.

(6.) A. Balanstf, Brongn. and Gris. The " Balansa Pine." New Cale- 

 donia. See Nouv. Archiv. du Museum (Paris), t. vii, pi. 13 ; also III. Hort., 

 1875, t. 204; 1894, t. 197, for figures. 



Sydney is rather cold for it, and it apparently wants better soil for its 

 full development than we are able to give it in the Botanic Gardens. One of 

 our trees is about 20 feet high. 



The late Mr. Charles Moore distributed this Pine under the unpublished 

 name of A. eleqans, which I have ascertained from specimens here.

 pi. 14.

(8.) A. Muelleri, Brongn. and Gris. Nouv. Arch, du Museum, t. vii, 

 pi. 15, 16. Also III. Hort., vol. 29, pi. 449. 



A handsome, coarse-foliaged species. Not in Sydney at the present time. 



(9.) ,4. imbricata, Pavon. "Chili Pine" or "Monkey Puzzle." 



A tall tree attaining a height of 100 feet under favourable circumstances, 

 native of South Chili, and well known for its dark, handsome, rigid, lance- 

 like foliage. 



It grows, but does not flourish, in the Sydney district ; it does well in 

 many of the cooler parts of the State. 



(10.) A. brasiliensis, A. Richard. 



A tree of 70-80 feet, native of the mountains of Southern Brazil. 



Much cultivated along the Mediterranean littoral of France and Italy, but 

 it does not appear to be in Sydney at the present time. 



Of the coarse-foliaged species it does better in Sydney than A . rmbricafa 

 and not so well as A. Bidwilli.
