Air A. D. Beddie, of Petone. who for some years has been successfully studving hybridism so far as concerns native trees and shrubs near Wellington, has made the important discovery that the pokalca (a not very common tree there) and the hinau cross and produce a remarkable race of trees hitherto unknown. Dr L. Cockayne, C.M G. 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 X-Elae-ocarpus Beddianus.
