SELECT PLANTS. 
Wallichia caryotoides, Roxburgh. 
India, up to 4000 feet elevation (Kurz). A stemless palm, eligible 
here for scenic group -planting. W. ablongifolia is identical with 
W. densiflora, (Martius). 
Wistaria Chinensis, Candolle. 
The “ Fuji” of Japan. Lives through a century and more. The 
stem is carried up straight, and the branches are trained on hori- 
zontal trellises at Japanese dwellings, affording shades for seats 
beneath. One Wistaria tree will thus cover a square of 50 feet 
by 50 feet, the odorous trusses of flowers pendant through the 
trellis overhead (Christie). Flowers likely available for scent 
distillation. 
Zizyphus Mistal, G-risebach. 
Argentina. A fine tree with edible fruits.
