1791. Numerous Eugenias are also in cultivation, as Eugenia Jam- 
bolana Lam., E. Jambos L., E. brasiliensis Lam., E. unifiora L., E. 
malaccensis L. ; several other species of Psidium, as P. cattleyanum 
Sab., and the several forms of P. Guayava, as pyriferum and pomi- 
ferum. 
Myrtus communis L., the common Myrtle, may also be found, 
specimens occurring at Kaimuki near 10th Avenue and Waialae 
Road. 
The most commonly planted Eucalypti are: E. globulus, E. ro- 
busta, E. calophylla and E. citriodora. The writer would refer any- 
one especially interested in Eucalyptus to a Bulletin on the Eucalyptus 
Culture in Hawaii, by Louis Margolin, published by the Board of 
Agriculture and Forestry. It treats mainly of the commercial pos- 
sibilities of a few species. The determinations made by Margolin 
are, however, not reliable. 
Syncarpia glomulifera (Sm.), known as S. laurifolia, the latter 
name a synonym, is also under cultivation ; but on the highlands only. 
It is a native of New South Wales. Species of Melaleuca are also 
grown, the most noteworthy being M. leucadendron L., the Cajeput 
Tree. The Allspice Pimenta officinalis Lindl. is an evergreen tree, 
native of the West Indies. Specimens are also in cultivation in Hono- 
lulu. 
ARALIACEAE 
Aralia Family. 
The Aralia family is composed of 54 genera and 650 species, with 
the following cultivated in the Hawaiian Islands: 
Nothopanax Guilfoylei (C. et M.) Merrill 
Nothopanax Guilfoylei, which, unhappily, has no common name, 
is an erect shrub with straight ascending branches, and reaches a 
height of twelve feet or more. The leaves are pinnate, having from 
five to seven large ovate leaflets, with the margins distantly but 
prominently and sharply serrate; the apex is rounded, the base some- 
what uneven, the margins white, and the upper leaf surface also fre- 
quently blotched with white. 
This species has never flowered in Honolulu, where it is one 
of the most common hedge plants. It is a native of Polynesia, but 
is now widely cultivated. It grows very easily from cuttings and is 
one of the most satisfactory and clean hedge plants, as it is not 
at all attacked by insects.
