Guilandina Bonduc, Linn^. 



Widely dispersed through the intertropical regions of both 

 hemispheres with G. Bonducella, L. Both would be well 

 adapted for hedges in the warmer parts of our colony. 



Guizotia oleifera, Candolle. 



India and probably also Abyssinia. The Ramtil-oil is pressed 

 from the seeds of this annual herb, which yields its crop in 

 three months. The oil is much used like Sesamum-oil, as 

 well for culinary as technic purposes. 



Gunnera Chilensis, Lamarck. 



Caracas to Patagonia, chiefly on clifls. A most impressive 

 plant for scenic groups in gardens. Darwin measured leaves 

 8 feet broad and 24 feet in circumference. The acidulous 

 leaf-stalks serve as a vegetable ; the thick roots are used for 

 tanning and dyeing. G. macrophylla, Blume, is a native of 

 Java and Sumatra, where it occurs on mountains, up to 6000 

 feet. 



Gymnocladus Canadensis, Lamarck. 



The Chicot. A North American timber and avenue tree, 

 attaining a height of 80 feet; allied to Gleditschia, but, as 

 the name implies, thornless. The wood is strong, tough, 

 compact, hne-grained, and assumes a rosy colour. 



Hagenia Abyssinica, Willdenow. {Brayera antlidmintliica, 

 Kunth). 



Abyssinia, at elevations from 3000 to 8000 feet. A tall 

 tree, admitted in this list because its flowers have come into 

 medicinal use. It is, moreover, quite eligible for ornamental 

 plantations. 



Harina caryotoides, Eoxburgh. 



Assam, Chittagong and Darjeeling. A dwarf, tufted, hardy 

 Palm, desirable for decorative purposes. 



Harpullia Hillii, F. v. Mueller. 



The Tulip-wood of Queensland. One of the most valuable 

 of the numerous kinds of trees indigenous there for select 

 cabinet-work. 



Hedeoma pulegioides, Persoon. 



The Pennyroyal of North America. An annual herb of 

 aromatic taste, employed in medicine. 



Hedysarum coronarium, Linn^.* 



The Soola Clover. South Europe. One of the best of peren- 

 nial fodder-herbs. It carries with it also the recommendation 

 of being extremely handsome.
