Botanic Gardens. "A rubber producing plant; should be planted 
in a humid situation shaded from the wind. It does best here 
in well-drained, fully cleared, clayey-peaty land, some dis-

our Experiment Stations. In heavy clay soils exposed to winds 
this plant does not grow luxuriantly, developing into a shrubby 
bush very liable to attacks from Lecanium scale." (Stockdale.)
