.&SCALONIA. 177 



^SCALONIA. 



The ^Escalonia is an evergreen shrub, much used 

 for ornamental hedges. It grows along the borders 

 of streams. In California it blooms late in October, 

 and continues through most of December, affording 

 considerable pollen and probably some honey, and 

 affords the last pasturage of the year. 



The above list comprises many valuable flowers, as 

 bee pasturage ; but among the numerous flora of 

 California, there will doubtless be others found of 

 equal value.
