THE DRUMSTICK GRASS-TREE. 
The Grass-trees are the last survivals of an age when rushes and sedges grew to enormous size. They are only to be found 
in the temperate districts of Australia. The Drumstick will sometimes reach a height of thirty feet, though the average growth 
is little more than twelve feet. The peculiar shape of the flower-stalks gives the name to the tree.
