in November and December. Any rather dry soil suits it, but it appears to thrive best on a slope or rocky hill-side; can be removed easily.

Myoporum lœtum, Forst. A shore-loving tree or shrub; its rapid growth and handsome foliage render it valuable for screening the nursery of young trees or shelter of almost any kind, but it is not sufficiently hardy to encounter very severe frosts without injury; it bears pruning well; if neglected in this respect its robust habit quickly changes the densely-foliaged shrub into a tree, with its lower part furnished with lateral twigs, the bareness of which detract from its beauty; it may be headed to within a few inches of the ground; in transplanting, a dull day should be chosen for the purpose, as the young plants are apt to flag. Its pale flowers are succeeded by a purple drupe; it is subject to scale.
