•wood have been sold for £600, the wood being the most valuable of 
middle Europe. Can be grown in cold localities, as it lives at 2000 feet 
elevation in middle Europe. The Californian Walnut tree (Juglans 
rupes/ris, Engelmaun) and the Chinese Walnut tree (Juglans Maiulchu- 
rica, Maxim.) ought to he introduced here. 
Lettoadendron argenteum, Brown, 
The Silver tree of South Africa is included on this occasion among 
forest trees, because it would add to the splendour of our woods, and 
thrive far better there than in our gardens. Moreover, with this tree many 
others equally glorious might be established in our mild forest glens as 
a source of horticultural wealth, were it only to obtain in future years 
a copious supply of seeds. Mention may be made of the tall Magnolia 
trees of N, America (Magnolia grandijlora, L., 100 feet high ; .If. umbrella, 
Lam., 40 feet; M. acuminata, L., 80 feet; .If. cor data, Mlcbx., CO feet ; 
M. Fruxcri,' Walt., 40 feet; M. maerophylla, Michx., 40 feet), Jf. Yulan, 
Desf. of China, CO feet; Magnolia Campbell /, Hook., of the Himalayas, 
150 feet high and flowers nearly a foot across : M. sphaerocarpa, Itoxb., 
also of the Indian Highlands, 40 feet; I ho North American Tulip tree 
(Liriodendran tulipifera, L.), 140 feet high, stem 0 feet in diameler ; the 
Mediterranean Styrax tree (Styrax officinalis, L.) : Stenocarpus sinuosus, 
End!., of East Australia (the most brilliant of'tho Prolcaceat) ; the 
crimson and ^arlet Ratas of New Zealand ( Metrosidcros Jloriia, Sm, ; 
M. lucida, Menz. ; M. rohuita, Cunn., 80 feet high ; Jf. lomcntosa, Cunn., 
40 feet) ; Fuchsia excorticatei, L., also from New Zealand, stem 2 feet in 
diameter; the crimson-flowered Eucalyptus ficifolia of West Aus¬ 
tralia; Bhododendon Falconeri, Hooker, from Upper India, 50 feet 
high, leaves 18 inches long. In the Sassafras gullies, here alluded to, 
also may be planted the great Melaleuca Lcueadendron, L., the true 
Asiatic Cajuput tree, which grows to a height of 100 feet; even the 
North European Holly {Ilex Aguifolium), which occasionally rises to 
60 feet, though both from regions so distant. 
Idquidambar Altingia, Blume. 
At (he Red Sea and in the mountains of India and New Guinea, at 
8000 feet, and probably hardy in the warmer parts of our colony. The 
tree attains a height cf 200 feet. It yields the fragrant balsam known 
as liquid Storax. 
Liquidambar styraciflua, L, 
The Sweet-Gum tree. In morasses and on the springs of the forests of 
N. America, with a wide geographic range. The tree attains vast 
dimensions of its crown ; the stem 10 fret in diameter. The terebin- 
thine juice hardens, on exposure, to a resin of benzoin odour. Wood 
fine-grained. 
Macadamia ternifolia, F. von Muell. (Ilelicia icrnifolia, F. M.) 
The Nut tree of subtropic East Australia, attaining a height of CO feet; 
hardy, as far south as Melbourne ; in our forest valleys likely of fair 
celerity of growth. The nuts huve the taste of hazels. 
Morus rubra, L. 
The Red Mulberry tree of North America is the largest of the genus, 
attaining a height of 70 feet ; it produces a strong and compact timber.' 
The White Mulberry tree (Morus alba, L. ), with others, offering food 
to the silkworms, should be planted copiously everywhere for hedges or 
copses. 
Maclura aurantlaca, Nuttall. 
The Osage Orange of North America. Greatest height 60 feet; wood 
bright yellow, very elastic, fiue-grained. For deciduous thornhedges, 
the plant is important; its value for silkworms needs further to be 
tested.
