ARALIA' CRffi. An order of trees, shrubs, or (rarely) 

 herbaceous plants, often pubescent, and sometimes spiny. 

 The flowers are variously disposed, hermaphrodite or 

 unisexual, with valvate petals, usually five. The family 

 is closely akin to Umbelliferae, whilst the genera include 

 Aralia and Hedera. 



ARAR-TREE. A common name for Callitris quadri- 

 valvis. 



ARAUCA'RIA. (From Arawanos, the name of the 

 people in whose country Arauca'ria imbrica'ta grows in 

 Chili. Nat. ord. Conifers [Conifers]. Linn. 22-Dicccia, 

 i^-Polyandria.) 



The most popular species of this genus are A. excelsa 

 and A. imbricata. The first named is not quite hardy, 

 but is one of the most symmetrical greenhouse foliage 

 plants we have, and there are several distinct varieties. 

 It is generally known as the Norfolk Island Pine. Seeds 

 being very perishable they rarely reach this country in good 

 condition, but seedling plants from the west coast of 

 Africa packed in selaginella reach here in a healthy state, 

 and if the tops are taken off and rooted they make better 

 plants than seedlings, the latter being deficient in branches 

 at the base. The same plants when well established will 

 give more cuttings, but it is only the terminal growths 

 that are of any use. Seeds to arrive in good condition 

 must be packed in moist soil and stored where there is 

 no great change in temperature. We have received seeds 

 of A. Cunninghami from Australia packed in loam, and 

 germination has started on the voyage, but dry seeds 

 have always failed. A. imbricata, though having such 

 large seeds, are equally perishable, and should be packed 

 in moist sand or loam. Seeds of this are said to be good 

 food when roasted. All require good loamy compost, 

 and for cuttings plenty of sand.
