Of them Pittosporum eugenoidee ie perhaps one of the ones most 

 commonly found. It is most often us-d for hedges but with proper care 

 and sufficient length of time to mature it forms a good small tree with very 

 bright colored foliage for an evergreen. The green is a distinct yellow 

 green and forms a strong contrast to other trees. The leaves are oval to 

 oblong in shape often with undulate margins; the flowers come in clusters 

 and are not conspicuous, being of a yellowish green color; these are followed 

 by small greai berries. The tree forms a rounded crown of considerable beauty. 



Pittogporum rhombi folium. This species is not common in California but 

 is worthy of consideration. At best it is a medium-sized tree with fairsized 

 smooth green leaves. Flov:ers are inconspicuous and are followed by yellow 

 berry-like capsules. This tree is more tree like and erect in habit than 

 eonie of the other species. 



Pittogporum tenui folium. "This species is somewhat like P_. eupenoides 

 but is characterized by smaller leaves and very shining black stems. It is of 

 rather slow growth and needs special training to induce a good tree-like form. 

 It is in some ways more delicate and graceful in appearance than P_. eugenoides. 



Pitto eporurn undulatum. This form is usually found as a plant in high 

 hedges or windbreaks. It has rather larger leaves than any of the preceeding 

 and they are of a thick texture and darker color. The flowers are in terminal 

 clusters, whitish, and ere followed by showy dull yellow berries. Where it has 

 developed into a tree it forms an excellent broad spreading crown but not a 

 great height of trunk. 



Tji^ Sycamores or Plane Trees. 



Of the two species of Plane trees, the Oriental Plane is considerably the 

 better form. This has proven the most desirable deciduous species in many 

 parts of the city of Los Angeles. 



The foliege is large, of a good green, and drops fairly late in the season. 

 The fruits are often persistent through the winter and break up before falling
