  ''One 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  striking 
  and 
  beautiful 
  hedges 
  of 
  this 
  district 
  (Sagami) 
  is 
  made 
  from 
  

   this 
  evergreen-oak. 
  At 
  first 
  I 
  thought 
  they 
  were 
  camphor, 
  so 
  striking 
  were 
  the 
  young 
  

   leaves. 
  The 
  plant 
  readily 
  adapts 
  itself 
  to 
  any 
  kind 
  of 
  training 
  and 
  seems 
  to 
  stand 
  a 
  lot 
  

   of 
  rough 
  treatment. 
  The 
  imperial 
  railroad 
  is 
  now 
  using 
  it 
  a 
  great 
  deal 
  for 
  hedges. 
  It 
  

   would 
  be 
  hardy 
  south 
  of 
  Norfolk, 
  Va., 
  and 
  should 
  also 
  do 
  well 
  along 
  the 
  Pacific 
  coast 
  

   from 
  Chico, 
  Cal., 
  northward."

   "This 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  interesting 
  of 
  all 
  citrus 
  fruits 
  and 
  one 
  which 
  curi- 
  

   ously 
  enough, 
  has 
  never 
  yet 
  received 
  adequate 
  attention 
  from 
  botanists 
  or 
  

   horticulturists. 
  It 
  was 
  first 
  mentioned 
  in 
  1847 
  by 
  Ludwig 
  Leichhardt, 
  the 
  

   German 
  explorer, 
  to 
  whom 
  we 
  owe 
  much 
  of 
  our 
  knowledge 
  concerning 
  the 
  

   interior 
  of 
  the 
  deserts 
  of 
  northeastern 
  Australia. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  shrub 
  or 
  small 
  tree 
  12 
  to 
  

   15 
  feet 
  high, 
  with 
  a 
  trunk 
  2 
  to 
  6 
  inches 
  in 
  diameter. 
  It 
  has 
  small 
  but 
  thick 
  

   leathery 
  leaves 
  of 
  gray-green 
  color, 
  and 
  one 
  is 
  struck 
  by 
  the 
  scantiness 
  of 
  the 
  

   foliage. 
  The 
  flowers 
  are 
  small 
  and 
  the 
  fruits 
  about 
  a 
  half 
  inch 
  in 
  diameter. 
  

   An 
  agreeable 
  beverage 
  is 
  made 
  from 
  the 
  acid 
  juice 
  and 
  a 
  fair 
  preserve 
  may 
  be 
  

   made 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  fruit. 
  The 
  peel 
  has 
  the 
  sweetish 
  flavor 
  of 
  the 
  kumquat. 
  It 
  

   is 
  known 
  in 
  Australia 
  as 
  the 
  native 
  lemon. 
  The 
  plant 
  was 
  described 
  botan- 
  

   ically 
  as 
  Triphasia 
  glauca 
  Lindley

   This

  was 
  based 
  on 
  specimens 
  collected 
  on 
  October 
  17, 
  1846, 
  between

  XXXII

  XXXIII, 
  near

  Decidedly 
  cold 
  

   weather 
  was 
  encountered 
  near

  in 
  some 
  cases 
  the

  so
