A Drought-Resistant Ornamental from Northern Rhodesia. (Ochna 



POLYNEURA GiLG., S. P. I. NO. 49595.) 



One of the most attractive of the native ornamentals, this species of Ochna is particularly beautiful 

 both in flower and fruit. The shrub or small tree, 6 to 15 feet, in height, is quite as striknig when the 

 light-green foliage is contrasted with its black and yellow fruits as when the leaves form a neutral 

 background for the masses of vellow flowers. (Photographed by Dr. H. L. Shantz, Kafue, Northern 

 Rhodesia, December 3, 1919;'P36S24FS.)
