A NEW TREE.
SUCCESSFUL HYBRIDISM. By Telegraph —Press Association. WELLINGTON, July f. Mr A. D. Beddie, of Petone, who for some years has been successfully studying hybridism so far as it concerns native trees and shrubs near Wellington, has made the important discovery that the pokaka (not a very common tree hereabouts) and the hinau, will cross and produce a remarkable race of trees hitherto unknown. Dr L. Cockayne, F.R.S., fully concurs in Mr Beddie's supposition, and proposes to publish an illustrated account of the group in an overseas journal devoted to genetics. The group is to be called xelaeocarpus beddianus.
