OCHNA. Ochnacese. 
fO. multiflora. Tropical Africa. 
Though coming from Tropical Africa, 0. multi • 
flora has grown for five years in the Shrub House, 
where the temperature sometimes falls to freezing- 
point. It flowers in June. The receptacle and 
calyx turn bright crimson, and, among the yellow 
flowers, look like flowers themselves. 
CENOTHERA. Evening Primrose. Onagraceae. 
0. fruticosa. N. America. 
0. missouriensis. N. America. 
OLEA. Olive. Oleaceae. 
*0. europaea. Wild Olive. Asia and Syria. 
Height 12 feet. We have grown the Olive in a 
place sheltered by a south wall. The little tree 
now seems well established, though, so far, it has 
not flowered. It was cut down by frost several 
times when young. 
OLEARIA. Daisy Bush. Compositae. 
*0. argophylla. Musk Wood. Australia. 
*0. Forsteri. New Zealand. 
Height about 9 feet. Hardy when grown upon 
a south wall. The foliage is very beautiful, resem- 
bling that of a Pittosporum. 
fO. furfuracea. New Zealand. 
0. Haastii. New Zealand. 
*0. insignis. New Zealand. 
0. macrodonta. New Zealand. 
*0. moschata. New Zealand. 
0. myrsinoides. Tasmania. 
Two little plants of 0. myrsinoides, about 1 foot 
high, are growing in the Wall Garden. The dark, 
evergreen leaves with their wavy margins make it 
a most attractive little bush.
