Exotic Trees. 
Pinus pinaster Sol. (of which P. maritima Poir. is a synonym.) The Maritime 
or Cluster Pine. 
Pinus radiata Don (P. insignis Dougl.). 
Pinus jrinea L. The " Stone Pine." 
AUanthus glandulosa Desf. 
Robinia pseud-acacia L. 
Cupressus macrocarpa Harfcw. " Monterey Cypress." 
Palms of various species, especially 
Phoenix canariensis Hort. and P. reclinata Jacq. and other species of Phoenix. 
These palms live in sand, and stand the strong sea-breezes well. 
Washingtoniafilifera Wendl. (the so-called Railway Station Palm). 
Erythrina indica Lam. The " Coral Tree." 
Indigenous Shrubs. 
Correa alba Andr. 
Acacia longifolia Willd., var. Sophorte. " Spreading Coast Wattle." 
Leptospermum Icevigatum F.v.M. ' Tea-tree." 
Melaleuca ericifolia Sm. " Bottle-brush Tea-tree " and other Melaleucas. 
Angophora cordifolia Cav. :< Dwarf Apple." 
Myoporum acuminatum R.Br. 
Westringia rosmariniformis Sm. 
Monotoca elliptica R.Br. " A pigeon-berry Ash." 
Let me particularly emphasise the value of Leptospermum lavigatum, Nature's 
special sand-stay for many parts of coastal New South Wales. It is best developed 
about Melbourne. 
Exotic Shrubs. 
Salix acutifolia. ' The Sand Willow," which has done much to bind shifting 
sands in Russia. 
Tamarix gallica Linn. The Tamarisk. 
Lycium Afrum Linn. African Box-thorn. 
Lupinus arboreus Sims. The common " Tree Lupin " of Californian sand-hills. 
To aid the lupins to get hold of the sand at the commencement, barley is sown 
with them as it sprouts in a few days and holds the sand in the second week ; the lupin 
subsequently covers the sand with a dense vegetation in less than a year. 
Lupinus Douglasii Agardh, also L. Chamissonis Escholtz (L. albifrons Benth.) 
have also been recommended as sand-binders. 
Other leguminous shrubs of larger size that may be tried are Tagasaste, from the 
Canary Islands (Cytisus proliferus L., var. palmensis), which will eventually come in 
useful as a fodder plant.
