Subtropical Gardening. 27 



26. Carludovica palmata. 



27. Caryota urens. 



28. sobolifera. 



29. Cassia corymbosa, flowers pretty freely, but is scarcely distinct enough to be 



generally admired. 



30. Cassia floribunda, ditto. 



31. Chamaepeuce diacantha, a plant of very striking aspect. 



32. Chamaerops humilis. 



33. *excelsa. 



34. *Palmetto. 



35. Colea Comersoni, a plant with very noble leaves, as yet rare. 



36. *Colocasia odorata, when old looks peculiarly distinct and magnificent, in con- 



sequence of being elevated on a bold stem. 



37. Cordyline indivisa. This fine thing will stand out of doors without injury in 



summer, even in the far north. 



38. Corypha australis. 



39. Cyathea dealbata. For use where other tree ferns are ventured out. 



40. *Cycas revoluta, as useful in the conservatory as in a flower garden j will em- 



bellish the first through the cold months, and form a distinct and graceful 

 subject in the centre of a choice bed of flowers all the summer. 



41. Dahlia imperialis. 



42. Dicksonia antarctica. Probably the best of the tree ferns for placing in the 



open air. 



43. *Dracaena australis. The Dracaenas here given are all fine, and very useful in 



their way. 



44. *Dracaena indivisa. 



45. *Draco. 



46. *braziliensis. 



47. nutans. 



48. Rumphi. 



49. erithorachis. 



50. *cannsefolia. 



51. *lineata. 



52. *Echeveria metallica, very distinct in colour and appearance, and grows well 



out of doors in England. 



53. Erythrina crista-galli, and its varieties, flower well in the south of England, as 



well as around Paris. 



54. *Ferdinanda eminens, one of the best and most popular. 



55. *Ficus elastica, never suffers, but makes free growth in the open air, and is 



useful at all seasons, indoors or out. 



56. Ficus nympheaefolia, scarce in private collections, but very fine. 



57. Grevillea robusta.
