132 THE AUSTRALIAN NATURALIST. 
Cheel mentioned quite a number of native plants, such as 
Christmas Bells, Tea-trees, Native Heaths and Orchids, that 
ought to be taken up more extensively for cultivation. The 
Swan River daisies, Everlasting flowers, such as Helichrysium, 
Helipterum, and <Acroclinium, were sold by nurserymen, and 
cultivated in the older lands, and oegeasionally in Australian 
gardens; but it was not generally known that these latter were 
natives. The Boronias and Swainsonas were very showy, and 
ought to be more extensively cultivated. Quite a number of our 
Eucalypts were well worthy of more extensive cultivation as 
shade trees in our parks, and for street planting, and also a 
select few could be chosen for avenues. Mr. Cheel suggested 
that the Shire Councillors and Aldermen of the Municipalities 
would be well advised if they were to give some of the Eucalypts 
known to.be endemic to their respective shires or municipal dis- 
tricts a fair trial, instead of planting exotic trees, which are 
frequently unsuitable.
