SELECT PLANTS READILY ELIGIBLE 



Fraxinus viridis, Micliaux. 



The Green Ash of North America. Height 70 feet; wood 

 excellent. 



Frenela ActinostrobuSj Mueller (Actinostrobus ^Ji/ramic^a^is, 

 Miq.) 



From South- West Australia. Though only a shrub, it is placed 

 here on record as desii'able for introduction, because it grows 

 on saline desert-flats, where any other conifers will not 

 readily succeed. It may become important for coast cultiva- 

 tion. 



Frenela Macleayna, Parlatore. 



New South Wales. A handsome tree, of regular pyramidal 

 growth, attaining a height of 70 feet; the timber is valuable. 



Frenela Parlatorei, F. v. Mueller. 



South Queensland. Kecommended by Mr. F. M. Bailey as 

 a shade-tree. It attains a height of sixty feet. Several 

 other Frenelas are worthy of forest-culture. 



Frenela verrucosa, A. Cunningham. 



Also several other species from Victoria and other parts of 

 Australia are among the trees, which may be utilised for 

 binding the coast- and desert-sand. They all exude Sandarac. 



Garcinia Travancorica, Beddome. 



Madras Presidency, up to elevations of 4500 feet. This 

 seems to be the hardiest of the superior Gamboge trees, 

 hence there is some prospect of its prospering in our warmer 

 forests. 



Garuleum bipinnatum, Lessing. 



South Africa. A peremiial herb of medicinal proj^erties, 

 and like numerous other plants there and elsewhere, praised 

 as an alexipharmic, but all requiring close reinvestigation in 

 tliis resi^ect. 



Gaultiera Myrsinites, Hooker. 



North California, Oregon, British Columbia. The fruit 

 of this procvimbent shrub is said to be delicious. It would 

 prove adapted for our alps. 



Gaultieria Shallon, Pursh. 



North- Western America. This handsome spreading bush 

 would yield its pleasant edible berries in abundance, if 

 planted on our sno^vy mountains, where it would likely be- 

 come naturalised. 



Gaylussacia frondosa, Torrey and Gray. ^ 



The Blue Tangleberry of North America. A bush with 

 deciduous foliage. Berry sweet.
