Botanical Name. — Podocarpus (from two Greek words — pons, podos, a. 

 foot, and harpos, a fruit), referring- to the thick, fleshy fruit-stalk of these 

 plants; elata, Latin, lofty, referring to the tallncss of this particular tree. 



Vernacular Names. — In a general way the name Pine is given to that 

 group of plants known to botanists as Conifers. The exceptions are rare, 

 but a few bTush trees in Australia go by that name. Our tree is known as 

 '' Pine," '' She Pine, and " Brown Pine," and, to a less extent, " White 

 Pino," but the last designation had better bo left for Araucaria. Cunning- 

 hamii, the " Hoop Pine." called also " Plum Pine " and " Berry Pine," in 

 allusion to the fruits; and also "Brush Pine," because of the situation in 

 which it grows. It is also Icnown as " Native Deal."
