Christmas Tree. — This tree, which is known botanieally as Nnytsia floribunda, 

 received its common name from the fact that it flowers about the Christmas season. 

 When in flower it is one of the most gorgeously dressed trees in the Western Aus- 

 tralian bush. When in flower it is a mass of orange-coloured flowers in erect 

 clusters. The wood of the Christmas tree, which is of no value, is soft and spongy 

 and white in colour. The tree is usually found among the jarrah and banksias
