only surpassed by Dracaena Draco, the Dragon-tree of the 
Canary Islands. This is the only known high-stemmed 
species, the trunk attaining a height of 50 feet and the huge 
panicle of flowers 40 feet more. It dies, like many allied 
plants, after flowering. The species is recorded here as a 
fibre plant, but with us would mainly or solely be kept for 
its ornamental grandeur. 
Fragaria Chiloensis, Alton. 
In various of the colder parts both of North and South 
America. Chili-Strawberry. 
Fragaria collina, Ehrhart. 
In various parts of Europe. Hill -Strawberry. 
Fragaria grandiflora, Ehrhart. {F. Ananas, Miller.) 
Various colder parts of America. Closely allied to E. 
Chiloensis. Ananas Strawberry. 
Fragaria Illinoensis, Prince. 
North America. Hovey’s Seedling and the Boston kind 
from this plant. 
Fragaria pratensis, Duchesne. (Fragaria elatior, Ehrhart.) 
In mountain-forests of Europe. Cinnamon-Strawberry. 
Hautbois. 
Fragaria vesca, E. 
Naturally very widely dispersed over the temperate and 
colder parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Wild Wood 
Strawberry. Erom this typical form probably some of the 
other Strawberries arose. Middle forms and numerous 
varieties now in culture were produced by hybridisation. 
These plants, though abounding already in our gardens, are 
mentioned here, because even the tenderest varieties could 
be naturalized in our ranges. Any settler living near some 
brook or rivulet might readily set out some plants, which 
with others, similarly adapted, would gradually spread with 
the current. 
Fragaria Virginiana, Miller. 
North America. Scarlet Strawberry.
