Quite recently, however, a new rubber-plant had been 
discovered at Rockstone by Mr. Ward and Professor 
Harrison, and as it promised to be of value, Mr. Jenman 
was taking steps to obtain plants and to get all informa- 
tion about it. If some one would collate all the sources 
of information, a good paper could be obtained for the 
Society's journal, which was indefinitely postponed for 
want of suitable papers. 
Mr. Hill agreed with Mr. Hargreaves that it would be 
desirable to have the information collated. Departmen- 
tal reports were not available to the public generally. 
Mr, Gilzean said he did not believe that ten per cent, of 
the people who went to the Botanic Gardens knew there 
was such a thing as a nursery, and not 2 per cent, 
knew of the herbarium. 
It was resolved that Mr. Quelch should colle6l and 
condense the information required for next meeting, 
when the question of its publication would be considered.
