shrubs. Of the former, the Spathodea 
campanulata,ax\d.t\\o. beautiful Anther stia 
nobilis, named after Countess Amherst, 
wife of a Viceroy of India, are the most 
conspicuous. Of the shrubs, the best is 
the beautiful golden flowered Allaman-

Further on to the left is the main lake, 
which covers an area of two acres. It has 
a small island in the middle, and is of 
varying depth, from three to nine feet. 
Striking off to the right, and taking the 
small path which leads to the aviaries, a 
clump of trees will be seen on the left, 
among them are some Tembusee

graceful and beautiful indigenous trees. 
On the same lawn B y but more in the 
centre, are also several very fine speci-

durable. Another tree in the clump 
worth notice is the scandent one, with 
large bright green leaves and yellow

flowers ( Wormia suffruticosa).
