s.
Paritium tiliaceum: mahoe, ac-
cording to the late DIR. John K.
Small, it is probably a native of
the Old World tropics, though
found on the lower East Coast
and Florida Keys. A spreading
tree, its shiny heartshaped leaves
remind one of the Linden (Tilia),
hence its specific name. The Hi
biscus-like flowers are light
yellow in the morning, chang
ing to orange, and finally to red
before dropping. 1t is especially
recommended for South Florida
gardens and thrives in the poor
white sand of the seashore.
DR.. Stafford in his book, Use
full Plants of Guam" says THE
natives make a cordage of the
inner bark. The rope is used for
halters and lines for teethering
cattle. In Tahiti mats are made
of it. The wood is light, durable
and flexible, so that it may be
readily bent into any desired
shape. This renders it suitable
for the frames of boats the light
est of the wood for outriggers of
canoes" There is a fine specimen
near the front fence on the Edi-
son Estate in Fort Myers; COM
mon all along the lower East
Coast.
Thespesia grandiflora. Native
of Porto Rico and somewhat rare
in Florida. Some years ago ] was
shown a fine specimen by DR..
John C. Clifford, Professor of
Forestry in Miami University.
The tree was in the rear of
bayfront estate in Coconut Grove
where he had planted it many
years bfere. 1t was apparently
35 or 40 feet tall and fairly
ablaze with large open flowers,
reminding one much of the
single red Hibiscus. l was later
shown a sample of the fine hard
wood. being one of the most
beautiful specimens that I had
ever seen. This tree is we'll worth
widespread planting in South
Florida. Strange to relate, it IS
not listed in Bailey's Cyclopedia
of horticulture.
Thespesia populnea; Seaside
Mahoe. Native of many tropical
countries of the world, including
Cuba and hammocks of the Fllri-
da kys. The flowers are Hibiscus
like, bright yellow with a ma
room center. The heart wood is
described as hard. smooth. dura-
BILE and of dark red color DIR.
Nehrling described it IS
spreading" tree suitable for
street planting. DR.. Walter Bus;
we'll of Miami University. takes
issue with this, stating it to be Ill
adapted to this purpose, and
with what / have seen of them !
fully agree with him. Sunset
Drive, main east and west street
of South Miami, was planted
with them some years ago, Wood
is hard and durable and used in
the making of wagon wheels in
the Island of Ceylon.
All these tree forms of Hibis-
Gus. I believe. may be successfully
grown from cuttings.
