Art. XXXII.—An Account of the Plants growing at “The Gums,” Taita. By T. Mason [Read before the Wellington Philosophical Society, 11th November, 1896.] The grounds and garden at “The Gums,” Taita, in the valley of the Hutt, near Wellington, cover an area of about 12½ acres, which was originally part of a dense grove of Dacrydium totara, with trees of from 100ft. to 150ft. in height, and from 3ft. to 8ft. in diameter. The outer border is planted with several kinds of Eucalyptus (some of which are almost equal in height and diameter to many of the trees that preceded them), Coniferœ, and deciduous trees, with an undergrowth, principally of native shrubs, in order to afford protection against the violent gales from the north-west and south-east which frequently sweep up and down the valley. The soil is a rich alluvial deposit of sandy loam, resting on gravel, at a depth varying from 6ft. to 11ft.

The temperature is rarely hot in summer or cold in winter, the highest registered being on 7th February, 1894, when the thermometer rose to 85°, Fahr. in the shade, and the lowest in July of the same year, when it fell to 16° on grass. The thermometer every year rises on three or four days to 80°, and falls about the same number of times to 20°. The average yearly rainfall during the last nine years is 56in., falling most in winter, but also freely at short intervals during the other months, so that drought is practically unknown. A few of the trees, shrubs, and plants have only been tested one winter; but a large proportion of them were severely tried by a succession of keen frosts on the 5th, 6th, and 7th August, 1875, which destroyed a number of shrubs, among them two kinds of cinchona and several kinds of rhododendron which had withstood the colds of previous winters. Many of the native shrubs suffered severely. No record of the degrees of frost was kept, but, as those which were killed were not replaced, and most of the others have resisted the cold of several winters, the following may be considered as hardy in this locality. The figures attached to some of the trees and shrubs show their height at the present time; but, as they were planted in different years, as obtained from varying sources, comparisons as to growth cannot be made. Only in one class—the three varieties of Cedrus—the relative growth is shown. They were planted at one time—29th April, 1871—and were placed near together, under equal conditions in every respect. They were healthy plants about 15in. high, and have continued healthy and vigorous, and as they grow singly the foliage is dense, and they are clothed down to the ground—fine specimens of their kind.
