FICUS MACROPHYLLA. 
The Moreton Bay Fig Tree or Australian Banyan. A free-growing greenhouse shrub, with 
fimooth terete stems, and thin coriaceous glossy ovate-oblong entire leaves, cordate at the base, 5 to 
6 inches long, and 2y inches broad, attached by smooth petioles of -from 1 to 2 inches long j the 
veins are slightly elevated on both surfaces. The plant has somewhat the aspect of jF. amireUis, 
but is of larger growth. It is, undoubtedly, the best sub-tropical plant of its kind, growing freely 
in a very low temperature, and even withstanding 7® or 8® of frost ; hence it is not a doubtful plant 
for our variable climate, but if put out in the middle of May is sure to succeed. 3«. Gd. and 5^.
