7. Trees and Shrubs of New Zealand.

By L. S. Gibbs. (The Gardener's Chronicle, vol. 47, pp. 97, 98, 118, 131. February, 1910.)

An account of New Zealand trees and shrubs with regard to their value as plants for cultivation in English gardens, for which purpose the authoress recommends a number highly. The statement is made, “that beyond Cordyline autralis and tree-ferns it is rare to see a native shrub or tree in a New Zealand garden.” With the exception of Pittosporum Kirkii, the other species of the genus are described as “uninteresting.”
