THE 
OFFICE GATE ROAD 
The Office Gate Road may be looked on as a short 
cut to the Bandstand Hill. In the seventies, that is to 
say, before the development of the Palm Valley, its sides 
were allotted to palms and in consequence there are many 
along it. The best Cmlococcus carolinensis, the best 
Borassns Machadonis and the best Arenga undulatifolia in 
the Gardens are near it. 
The clump of the Orchid Grammatophyllum speciosum 
at its junction with the Main Gate Road has been in this 
place since 1861.
