Agarious Caesareus, Schaeffer. 
In the spruce forests of Middle and South Europe. Trials 
might he made to naturalize this long-famed and highly delicious 
mushroom in our forests when spruce-fir plantations are made. 
It attains a width of nearly one foot, and is of a magnificent 
orange colour. Numerous other edible Agarics could doubtless 
be brought into these southern colonies by the mere dissemina- 
tion of the spores at apt localities. As large or otherwise 
specially eligible may here be mentioned A. cxtinctorius L., 
A. melleus Vahl., A. deliciosus L., A. giganteus Sowerby, A. Car- 
darella , Fr., A. Marzuolus Fr., A. eryngii Cand., A. splendens 
Pers., A.odorus Bulliard, A. auricula Cand., A. oreades Bolt., 
A., esculentus Wulf, A. mouceron Tratt ., A. socialis Cand., all 
from Europe, besides numerous other highly valuable species 
from other parts of the globe. 
Agrostis rubra, LinnA ( A . borealis , Hartmann.) 
Northern Europe, Asia and America. A perennial grass called 
Red-top, and also Herd-grass in the United States of North 
America. Mr. Meehan places it for pastoral value among grasses 
cultivated there next after Pkleum pratense and Poa pratensis 
(the latter there called Blue Grass), and before Dactylis glomerata 
(the Orchard Grass of the United States). 
Aira csespitosa, Linn6. 
Widely dispersed over the globe. A fair fodder-grass, best 
utilised for moist meadows. 
Albizzia Lebbek, Bentham. 
The Siris Acacia of South Asia. Available in the warmer parts 
of our colony as a shade-tree. It produces also a good deal of 
gum. 
Allium roseum, Linn6. 
Countries on the Mediterranean Sea. This, with Allium 
Neapolitanum (Cyrillo), one of its companions, yields edible 
roots, according to Heldreich. 
Aloexylon Agallochum, Loureiro. 
Cochmchina, on the highest mountains ; thus, this tree would 
probably prove hardy here. The precious Aloe-wood, so famed 
for its balsamic fragrance and medicinal properties, is derived 
from this tree. 
Anthistiria avenacea, F. v. Mueller. 
New South Wales and Queensland. A nutritious perennial 
pasture grass.
