2 . Hedge Plants. 
The hedge associations are in all cases partly artificial, as they occur 
along the lines of boundaries marked out by human agency. Neverthe- 
less, probably very few members of the hedge flora are actually planted, 
but their seeds find favourable conditions for germination in the shade of 
the one or more species actually planted in the first place, of which by far 
the commonest is Euphorbia neriifolia .
