The variety of horse-chestnut v.-hich is so popular in Christehurch probably derived its peculiar name from the abearance of the sheath of bar!' -.yhich crows below each leaf ion-.; "on the branches, of the tree. " This .-heath bears the e::aet marking >.f a horseshoe, including ii\e nark, 'with three 0:1 one side of the shoe and two on the other. The resemblance 1- remarkable, but there is ao;;arent!v no evidence that the iir-t blacksmith nailed ha< shoe? acvo'-chr.- to this exampw I'rcrn nature. The horse-chestnut lias, ar.othe! interesting characterrsbuds deu'ioo a surface covering m thick, stickv material which protects' the yuwifi leaves front the rigours of winter, and which botanists say M ives thorn a certain imJnnnitv from irosts.
