As a few notes on some of the plants in the Gardens may be 

 interesting, I add some here which may be useful for 

 reference. 



Agave rigida, var sisalana. — About 20 plants of these species 

 were received from Kew by parcels post in 1890, and have grown 

 well and flowered. This is said to be one of the best fibre 

 yielding plants, and is being largely cultivated in some parts of 

 the world, as the fibre is stronger than that of the Fourcroys ? 

 The plant is well suited to the coast and midland districts, and 

 a few plants have been supplied gratis to applicants. A small 

 specimen of the fibre is in our Museum. 



Amoora Bohituka, W. & A. — A native of India, the wood is 

 useful foi* many purposes, and the seeds yield an oil. Our tree 

 was planted in 1892, and is now about 14 feet high, not doing 

 very well.
