VISIT TO THE BOTANIC GARDEN, JUNE 20, 1925. 
A large party of members were shown round by the Director, 
Mr. J. F. Bailey, who gave a most interesting account of some of 
the many varieties of trees in the Garden. 
I he Kauri Gum of Queensland is well represented but the 
N.Z. variety is not known to be growing in any of the Botanic 
Gardens of Australia. The pink gum {Eucalyptus Calophylla) 
the^ Melaleucas were greatly admired. Specimens of the 
Hoop Pine {Araucaria Cunninghami) do well as does A.Cookii 
and the “Bunya Bunya’’ pine {A. Bidwillii) 
The Garden is now able to show a fine variety of Acacias. 
which m their new situations show very healthy growth.
