The flowers are in the axils of the leaves or in terminal clusters generally sur- rounded by the leaves ; the sepals, petals, and stamens are five, inserted on the receptacle. The pod is woody, splitting into two, three or. rarely, four valves with the seeds attached to the sides and immersed in a viscid fluid. The genus is widely distributed, being found in the Cape region. South Africa, islands of the Pacific, New Zealand and Australia, Japan, China, India, and Canary Islands. The name is derived from the Greek and means pitch seed ; it is pronounced Pittosporum. Key to the Species la.

Tree or shrub with white-downy branches, becoming black when old. Leaves obovate, 5-8 cm. long, tapering to a short petiole; upper surface green; lower densely white-downy; margin entire. Flowers dark red-crimson, three to ten on drooping pedicels in terminal clusters; sepals white-downy, pointed, 6-7 mm. long; petals 12 mm. long, the spreading or recurving blades as long as the claws; anthers yellow, in the throat of the corolla. Pod roundish, about 2 cm. long, white-downy, valves three or four, yellow within; seeds black. Native of New Zealand. Common in cultivation. 2. PiTTOspoRUM Ralphii T. Kirk. This is similar to the preceding, but can be readily distinguished by the shape of the leaves. In P. Ralphii they are elliptic-oblong, obtuse at base and apex and about the same width throughout, while in P. crassifolium the leaves are broadest at the obtuse apex, gradually narrowing to the short petiole. JANUARY, 1932] PITTOSPORUMS IN CALIFORNIAN GARDENS 3 The pods are smaller in P. Ralphii. This was introduced by the New Zealand exhibition at the Exposition in 1915 in San Francisco. Golden Gate Park. Native of New Zealand. 3. PiTTOSPORUM coRNiFOLiuM R. Cunn. Shrub with spreading branches and leaves whorled at the ends and junction of the branch- lets. Leaves brownish-green, oblong-lanceolate, tapering at both ends and almost sessile, 3-4 cm. long, 1-2 cm. wide, margin entire, smooth. Flowers unisexual, dull purple, 1-3 on slender stems about 5 mm. long; petals linear-lanceolate, nearly 1 cm. long, recurving at the pointed tips; sepals linear and spreading. Pods small, dark brown, with inner surface of valves bright orange; seeds blackish- Purple. Native of New Zealand. It is rarely cultivated in California. 4. PiTTOSPORUM TENUiFOLiuM Banks and Solander. Figured in Kirk's Forest Fl. of New Zeal., pi. 46. Tree or shrub with almost black bark. Leaves oblong, obovate or elliptical, variable in shape and size, somewhat pubescent when young, becoming smooth in age, apex and base obtuse or acute, margin entire or wavy, petiole short. Flowers dark purple, fragrant, generally axillary, but in some bushes in small clusters at the ends of the branchlets, peduncles and sepals smooth or downy, the latter sometimes spreading but more often reflexed, pointed, margin ciliate, generally half as long as the corolla- tube; claws of petals forming a tube much lighter in color than the black-purple blades, these spreading or strongly reflexed; anthers yellow, in the throat of the corolla. Pod either smooth or downy, splitting into three valves with black seeds. This is grown as a tree or a hedge plant. It is very common in Golden Gate Park, and is variable. In the trade this is listed as P. nigrum because of the dark stems and the darker green leaves. A native of New Zealand. 5. PiTTOSPORUM CAULIFLORUM Mann. Tree or shrub with large veiny leaves clustered at the ends of bare branches; these and lower surface of leaves brown-downy. Flowers cream-color, about 8 mm. long in small heads on short stems growing on the old wood. Pod flattened, 3-4 cm. across, roundish and 4-ridged, woody, exterior dark brown, interior of valves orange; seeds black. Native of Hawaii. Golden Gate Park. 6. PiTTOSPORUM PHiLLYR.«oiDES DC. Small tree or climbing shrub with slender drooping branches. Leaves oblong to lanceolate, sharply hook-pointed at apex, narrowed at base to a short petiole, hairy when young, becoming smooth when old. Flowers yellow, often unisexual, single or several, in the leaf axils on thread-like pedicels about as long as the flowers; sepals very small, soon de- ciduous; claws of petals conniving to form a tube 6-8 mm. long, 3-veined, blades reflexed, 3 mm. long, darker than the tube. Pod about 1 cm. in diameter, splitting into two valves with few orange- red seeds. Native of Australia. It is not uncommon in gardens in southern California. 4 LEAFLETS OF WESTERN BOTANY [vOL. I 7.

Leaves oblong-lanceolate to linear, 2-6 cm. long, 1-2 cm. wide, almost sessile, margin revolute, smooth above, white-downy beneath. Flowers unisexual, axillary or few and clustered at ends of leafy branches; flower-stems long, thread-like, and drooping; petals purple and yellow, about 1 cm. long, spreading from about the middle; sepals reflexed 5 mm. long. Pods rounded, compressed, 1 cm. broad, splitting into two valves; seeds black. Native of Aus- tralia. Mosswood Park, Oakland, and Golden Gate Park. 8. PiTTOSPORUM ToBiR.\ Dryand. Figured in Bot. Mag., pi. 396. Shrub with spreading branches.
