To Face Supplementary Plate No. 367. 



ORIENTAL PLANE AT WESTON PARK 



The Plane tree here figured was referred to on page 622 in the third volume of our 

 work, as having measured, in 1875, 80 ft. by i8 ft. Until I saw it in 1909 I had 

 not realised that though not quite so large as the tree at Ely, figured on Plate 174, 

 it is in some respects a finer and better-shaped tree. Though it was seriously 

 damaged in March 1894 by a gale, it is now in perfect health, and measured, in 

 August 1909, about 80 ft. by 20 ft. in girth, and 120 paces round the branches. I 

 am informed by the Earl of Bradford that he has no record as to the date when it 

 was planted. The leaves of this tree are unusually large, and though not so deeply 

 cut as usual in the Oriental Plane, were quite free from the fungus Glceosporium 

 (cf. p. 618).
