Plumieri, Jacq. — This common and excellent hedge-plant has 

 run out into the pasture very little, but should the fruit at 

 any time become the food of some animal the plant will 

 become a great pest, as it bears fruit so abundantly. The 

 fruit has already caused the death of children near Bris- 

 bane. The genus belongs to South America. The 

 following varieties may be distinguished : — 

 var. alba. — Flowers white, plant nearly or quite thornless. 

 var. Ellisia. — Flowers dark blue with darker lines. The 

 best for hedge-making, as it makes a strong growth, 

 and stands dry weather better than the other varieties.
