x is much to ee seatriies. 5 at the cidimeuaes species of this useful genus of

the indigenous limes for stocks seer hick the waived varieties might be grafted. 
The objection to this seems to be in the slowness of growth, and hardness of wood 
in the leaten species. This obje ae however, Sieg be taken to the specie 
den ye at the Russell River, for in growth and general appearance it so reser 
in cultivation that at a casual glance it mark t be mistaken for a stray at

Queensland to obtain this species for stocks.
