PITTOSPORUM. Pittosporacese. 
*P. eugenioides. New Zealand. 
tP. floribundum. India. 
*P. tenuilolium. New Zealand. 
Syn. P. Mayi. 
Height 12 feet. Wall Garden. 
*P. Tobira. Japan and China. 
This shrub, which now measures 8 feet by 9 feet, 
flowers and fruits freely on a south wall. It is 
difficult to establish, but we have found the plants 
which prove hardiest are those grown from cuttings 
struck in a cool frame. These have done well in 
an open position. 
*P. undulatum. Australia. 
Which needs a sheltered position, has grown into 
a bush 13 feet high and 11 feet through. It is 
planted under a Beech tree surrounded by tall 
Rhododendrons. 
PLAGIANTHUS. Malvaceae. 
P. betulinus. New Zealand, S. Island. 
Height 22 feet. P. betulinus has here reached 
the stage when it rises from the interlaced and 
drooping branches of its infancy to an erectly 
branched tree. It grows in the middle of the Wall 
Garden, and has no other protection. Though it 
flowers in May, the seeds have never formed. 
P. Lyallii. New Zealand. 
Syn. Gaya Lyallii. 
We have two varieties of P. Lyallii , one with 
yellow, and the other with violet stamens. The 
former measures 12 feet high by 16 feet wide, the 
latter 16 feet by 14 feet. They flower profusely, 
but, even in the shelter of a south wall, have not 
produced seed. 
PLATANTJS. Plane. Platanacese. 
P. orientalis. Oriental Plane. S.E. Europe and Asia 
Minor. 
PLATYCODON. Campanulaceee. 
P. grandiflorum. Chinese Bell-flower. China and Japan.
