THE BOTTLE TREE.
One of the Most Singular Plants For.ud
in the AntiDOdes.

One of the Most Singular Plants Forud
in the Antipodes.
Among the singular and rare plants OF
the world is the Australian bottle tree,
an indigenous tree of limited portion
of tropical Queensland, and found ne.
where else in Australia or on the globe
The native habits.S of this peculiar
specimen of vegetation is on the east
ern coast range of mountains within
the parallels of 10 and 21 degrees o.
south latitude. The soil on which IL
grows is dry, the areas are level to a
limited extent, and elevated above sea
level over ], 1000 feet.
The tree takes it's name from the
shape of it's trunk, which is wonderfully
like the outlines of great bottle of tho
common order. The thick part of tho
trunk from the ground upward is from;
so to so feet high, from 80 to 40 feet il.
circumference, and quite straight up H.
where the neck tapers to the spreading;
foliage above all. The bark of the trea
is about three feet thick, of brown
color, and of cork-like consistency. Tho
foliage, which is very graceful, spreads
from the top of the tree, and the branches
have their base In the top of the meek. -
The leaves are similar in size and shape
to those of a cherry tree, but their color
and consistency are much lighter. The
spread of the branches and foliage forms
a regular-shaped dome of about 40 feet
in diameter, and of moderate density,
giving ample shade from the rays of the
sun.
Those bottle trees grow in groves,
from ten to thirty in each, and are not
less than one hundred feet apart from
each other, although other trees inter-
vene in places. There is generally good
pasturage and very little underground
of bushes where bottle trees grow.
Their appearance on the landscape is
very striking and unique; but there is
quaint beauty in the tout ensemble
nevertheless, and the tree, although
strange, is rather handsome in the
spread of its foliage. Even the ele-
phantine appearance Of the trunk is not
unhandsome when the eye becomes &C
customed to its shape.-Leeds (Eng.)
Mercury.
