groups of Primus pissardi (Persia) and a grove of Eugenia and 
flowering Laurels. In the upper gullies are to be found occa- 
sional fine specimens of the Lime ( T ilia europaea) , the Horse 
Chestnut ( Aesculus hip po cast anum) , Oaks and Willows of 
several varieties, and some large and shapely Hawthorns and 
Planes. The Common Ash ( Fraxinus excelsior) and the 
Lombardy Poplar ( Populus fastigiata) thrive near the water and 
are distributed accordingly. Near the stables is a good specimen 
of the Tulip Tree ( Liriodendron Tulipifera ) . 
Amongst conifers the handsomest specimens are groups of 
Sequoia , near the Joseph Fisher Pavilion. Both species are 
represented, S. gig ante a and S. sempervirens or the Red Wood. 
There are also a few isolated specimens of the Cedar ( Cedrus 
atlantica). The Cypress family has not acclimatized well in the 
dry localities selected for it, and of the pines only Finns 
canariensis makes a conspicuous tree in good situations. Near 
the railway station P. radiata ( P . insignis) has been afforested 
and P. halepensis freely planted, but, although the massed effect 
is good, these trees are individually poor in comparison with 
their growth at other altitudes. Amongst the conifers native to 
Australia are several fine specimens of the Bunya Bunya 
{Araucaria Bidwillii) and the Hoop Pine ( Araucaria Cunning- 
hamii). In the area controlled by the Forest Department are 
well-grown specimens of the Oak from which cork is obtained 
{Quercus suber).
