Brugmansia arhorea fl. pi., Sabal minor (Corypha"), Chamaerops Palmetto 
(corypha) of Ferns especially : Balantium antarcticum, Blechnum australe ; 
Cyrtomium falcatum, Cyathea australis and Cyathea meduUaris. All these 
plants are very durable and easy in cultivation for a low temperature and do 
not require much light. They keep during the winter the full foliage and many 
of them will bloom at this season. Plants, like Acacia lophanta, drop the leaves
