106 SELECT PLANTS FOR INDUSTRIAL CULTURE 



Elymus arenarius, Linne.* 



The Sea Lyme-Grass. Europe and North Asia, on sand coasts. 

 One of the most important and vigorous of grasses for binding 

 drift sand on the sea-shores. The North American E. mollis, 

 Trinius, is allied to this species. 



Elymus condensatus, Presl. 



The Bunch-Grass of British Columbia and California. This 

 is favourably known as adapted for sand land. 



Embothrium coccineum, R. and G. Forster. 



From Chili to Magellan's Straits. The Notra or Ciruelillo of 

 Chili. A tree of exquisite beauty, but seldom extending to 

 beyond 30 feet in height. The wood is utilised for furniture. 

 E. lanceolatum is merely a variety (Dr. Philippi). The equally 

 gorgeous E. emarginatum of the Peruvian Andes and E. 

 Wickhami from Mount Bellenden-Ker of North Queensland 

 deserve, with the East Australian allied Stenocarpus sinuatus, 

 a place in any sheltered gardens or parks of the warm tem- 

 perate zone. 



Encephalartos Denisonii, F. v. Mueller. 



New South Wales and Queensland. This noble Pine-Palm is 

 hardy in Melbourne and to be regarded as a most desirable 

 acquisition to our garden scenery, along with E. spiralis, E. 

 Preissii, and the South African species. All admit of translo- 

 cation even when of large size and when many years old. The 

 stems, with an unusual tenacity of life, remain sometimes 

 dormant after removal for several years. 



Engelhardtia spicata, Blume. 



The spurious Walnut Tree of the mountains of Java and the 

 Himalayas. It reaches a height of 200 feet. 



Erianthus fulvus, Kunth. 



Interior of Australia. A sweet perennial grass, of which cattle 

 are so fond as to eat it closely down, and thus cause it to dfe 

 out (Bailey). Readily raised by re-dissemination. 



Eriochloa annulata, Kunth. 



In tropical regions around the globe. Endures moderate cold 

 in South Queensland, and affords fodder all the year round 

 (Bailey).
