68 A GARDEN FLORA 
DRIMYS. Magnoliacese. 
D. aromatica. Tasmania and Victoria. 
Height about 4 feet. The combination of very 
dark green foliage and red shoots in this Drimys 
is particularly attractive. Although supposed to be 
tender, with us it grows against a south wall, and 
has had no further protection. It is covered with 
flowers in April. 
*D. Winteri. Winter’s Bark. S. America. 
We have two specimens of this shrub, one in an 
open position, the other near a south wall. The 
former measures 12 feet, the latter 16 feet by 9 feet 
and 7 feet deep. Neither of them has been protected 
during recent winters. 
DRYAS. Rosacese. 
D. octopetala. N. Hemisphere, Britain. 
DYCKIA. Bromeliacese. 
*D. brevifolia. Brazil. 
*D. rariflora. Brazil. 
Which Nicholson describes as a greenhouse plant 
with handsome foliage, grows upon the Succulent 
Rockery, with merely a span of protecting glass 
against winter rain.
