REPORT

Botanic Garden, Melbourne,

14th September, 1868.

Sir,

In compliance with your request, I have the honor of transmitting to you a succinct general Report on the work more recently performed in the Botanic Garden and its scientific institutions.

Simultaneously, I beg to point out what measures of progressive improvements might most advantageously occupy the attention of the establishment during the next year.

Since the great excavations at the Garden lake, and the earthworks connected therewith, were completed, it became possible, within the means available, to finish the various lines of walks, which now extend in the aggregate over 22½ miles. All of these are lined with trees, unless they pass along special garden land.

A considerable extent of these walks requires, however, yet to be somewhat raised and to be covered with a gravel-layer, or perhaps with clayey grit, which is far more accessible, and will bind into a firm mass, impervious to rain. A large portion of the main drive from the City bridge to Anderson-street, needs yet to be macadamised, and basalt boulders might be used to mark off lastingly its footpaths.

2

See M to Heildelberg Road Board, October 1868 (in this edition as 68-10-00b).

The tree lines along the walks amount altogether now to 21 miles; also, different kinds of trees have recently been chosen for these avenues, to exhibit the relative merits of each. The remaining portion of the reserve between the City bridge and the Botanic Garden has latterly also been planted with many additional kinds of Pines — not less than 21,000 Pines, representing very many species, being now grouped or scattered on the lawns. To prevent more completely a certain degree of monotony, which might be caused by the massive upgrowth of conifers, though many are of very distinct form, and though lines of deciduous trees dissect the lawns, I introduced into the incipient pinetum several hundreds of New Zealand Palm-lilies (Cordyline Australis and Cord. indivisa), and also numerous groups of real Palms — for instance, the Gippsland Fan-Palm, the New Zealand Nika-Nika, the Date, the Seaforthia, the Sabal, and a few others equally hardy. Many of these Palms or palm-like plants have become already very conspicuous, and it may be readily foreseen that, within a few years, the environs of the city will assume by this measure an aspect so exotic, that a visitor viewing the suburban landscape will imagine himself to be within the tropics. To the Palm groves require still to be added in quantity the Chilian Jubaea and the equally hardy Chinese Livistonia. The various trees will form a nucleus for forest culture when gradually bearing seeds, and when not merely the protection but also the enrichment of the native forests will become an object of legislative enactments. The total number of trees now planted out approaches to 30,000. The Willow plantations along both the Yarra banks, from Prince's bridge to Richmond, have been renewed or completed this year on the municipal side of the river by the aid of the Corporation. The renewal of the fences since the last floods, effected at great expense by the City Council, has afforded for this purpose all the necessary security. Weeping Willows and various kinds of Basket Willows have been chosen promiscuously to combine ornament with utility.

A dense belt of vegetation will thus guard against accidents, embellish the river, consolidate the banks, afford more shade, shelter the Garden against the piercing westerly winds, and replace permanently the fences, apt to be carried away by the floods.

Tall Danubian Reeds, Callas, patches of Tea-tree (Melaleuca ericifolia, transferable in an upgrown state), Poplars, Ashes, Elms, Oaks, all of various kinds, Toi-Toi, Pampas Grass, Tamarix, Ampelodesmos, Wiry Muehlenbeckia, Poa ramigera, will ere long impress on the once dismal swamps and river banks a smiling feature.

The many thousand large plants required for this purpose were partly supplied by donations or interchanges. Clover and lucerne are also established on the lagoons and even on the rises.

To render, in our zone of evergreen vegetation, the Yarra valley never of winterly, leafless aspect, the City Council very kindly allowed a strip of ground all along the northern banks to be ploughed for the reception of seeds of such quick-growing evergreen trees (chiefly Eucalypts, Acacias, Exocarpus, and Casuarinas) as will resist those occasional inundations, to which we are still likely to be exposed, unless many more of the ledges of rocks across the Yarra are blasted away, to decrease still further the niveau of the river, a measure which the still rapid fall during floods will admit of.

To secure the lower part of the Garden against such calamities and destructions as were experienced during the last four floods, it will be necessary to raise the river bank still three to four feet higher, perhaps with the formation of a terrace, although the embankment has been heightened already all along the Garden to the extent of several feet. This security could, however, not be afforded on the expansive flat next to the City bridge without serious impediment to the flood stream; but the swampy ground, now with the change of seasons wet and dry, will absolutely need deepening in several places, and raising (under formation of islands and such like ornamentation) in other spots, inasmuch as localities on which the area of dry land and of ponds is not properly defined, are prone to originate, by algic growth, malarian fevers. Consequently, on grounds of sanitary necessity alone, I feel bound to recommend this measure.

A spacious sluice was built, by Garden labor, last year, to admit of the sudden filling of the Garden lake whenever the river rapidly rises, in order that the demolition of the embankments of the lake may in future be obviated.

The tall Indian Bamboo has been acclimatized, and is, with other Bambusaceæ and the Nile Papyrus, chosen to fringe the lake. In a climate like ours, which admits of the culture of so many tropical plants without glass protection, it is always an important object to group the greatest possible number of prominently remarkable plants from various parts of the globe suitably together. This, indeed, is one of the greatest charms in our horticulture. Throughout the Garden ground numerous new species have been added annually, predominance being given to such shrubs and perennial plants as entail the least attention for maintenance. Were it otherwise, so extensive an area could not be maintained in sightliness, whilst here throughout the year the growth of weeds, annually more diversified, is to be coped with. And even now it is unavoidable to cover the central portions of all the shrubberies densely with perennial grasses, an operation which could not have been effected a few years ago, because the plants, then small, would have become suffocated. Plantations have also been formed at the stately girder-bridge, a structure which reflects high credit on the Department of Public Works. Whenever the lower part of Anderson-street is to be filled up, then the dyke now forming the approach to the bridge ought to be reduced.

The whole area of the Garden and arboreta now laid out comprises nearly 400 acres, including the lake with its six islands. To the latter, a seventh requires to be added, on the north-western extremity. By the extensive excavations on the lagoon, the once inundated eastern tea-tree ground has now been completely reclaimed, and forms a miniature forest, readily accessible to pic-nic parties from the river. Turf soil is by these means also easily obtained for Nursery culture. The work connected with the excavations also enabled me to establish passages across three of the bends of the lake, whereby the distance from point to point has been conveniently lessened. It allowed, also, widening the causeway and securing good soil for the Garden. Unrestricted access for carriages is given to all the rising ground in the reserve, from which such panoramic views may be enjoyed over the city, suburban landscapes, and bay; and it is anticipated that, whilst from year to year the park-trees will afford augmented shade and shelter, the locality indicated will become to residents of the city one of the easiest and most favorite resorts for recreative enjoyments. A proposition, suggested in one of my former Reports, that the paths along the base of the ridges and along the Yarra banks might be widened into pleasure drives, could now be readily carried out, the Yarra flats, by recent arrangements, being no longer occupied as pasture ground.

In special artistic ornamentation as yet little has been effected, the Director deeming it of pre-eminent importance to devote his early means to the raising of trees and utilitarian plants, such as will mitigate the heat of our summer clime, and increase the salubrity of the city, or such as will play an important element hereafter in our rural economy, and originate new industries. This is the reason why no fountains exist, save one in the central island of the lake; thus neither are statues erected.

Works of art we can call forth at pleasure, while time lost in forming the plantations cannot be regained. Now, however, since the main planting operations have been effected, it is but too desirable that a few appropriate statues and monumental works should add to the embellishment of the very varied vegetation, and stand with it in bold or beautifying contrast. It is proposed to gather works of art, constructed of the most varied material; the Carrara marble, all the cement compositions, the various blendings of ore, might all be brought together for illustration. For the play of fountains, the water pressure was hitherto quite insufficient, inasmuch as the Yan Yean works are only utilized when, at late night hours, the pressure exceeds 40 lbs. to the square inch. Had not, providently, each of the many Garden buildings been supplied with a spacious cistern, it would have been impossible to save the plantations from destruction during the trials of the summer months, unless by costly means Yarra water had been forced to the culmination of the hill for extensive irrigation. A special vote, adequate for such waterworks, has never been at my disposal, nor could such independent water supply have been maintained, unless annually a considerable outlay for fuel and attendance to an engine were incurred, or, what appears still less desirable, a windmill — apt to interfere with the traffic, and never sightly — had been established on the summit of the ridge. Nevertheless, it might be highly instructive to show, by local experiment, how much Yarra water could be forced by steam-power to the summits of our rises, within certain expenditure of capital and labor, because the fertility of many extensive tracts of the country could be very much increased, and the clime vastly be ameliorated, if rivers like the Yarra, and still more so those of the great Murray system, were not allowed to flow unutilized into the ocean.

Waterholes are sunk into tenacious clay soil on the higher-lying parts of the ridge, for securing the storage of Yan Yean water during rainy nights; and from these reservoirs the water is led readily during the hottest weather, by gravitation, to the plantations on the slopes below.

The abandoned quarries have been decorated with Agaves, Aloes, Mesembryanthema, some Pelargonia and other rock plants; while Brambles, Strawberries, and other wild fruit plants, attractive to children, have been planted in the gullies. Goodenias, Roses, and other shrubs line the river and lagoons. The fern-tree gully has been extended, and to the various hardy arborescent Ferns, some perhaps a century old, huge square Todeas of great age, Staghorn Ferns, and very many other species, became added in masses. The kinds of hedges now shown in different parts of the ground are very various, but that of Pittosporum eugenioides, first adopted by myself, is most admired, and called forth an extensive trade in this plant. Four other New Zealand Pittospora, as well as our native P. undulatum, are among those chosen for hedges. The Chamomile edgings, as time absorbing as defertilising and apt to be trodden down, become gradually abolished. Turkish Box, dwarf Roses, Veronica decussata, Rosemary, and most particularly Mesembryanthemum tegens, are substituted. The latter plant can be obtained largely from the Yarra flat, never fails in the heat of summer, and grows so depressed as to need only lateral trimming. Although large improvements have taken place on all the lawns, they still require gradually to be turfed with Cynodon Dactylon, a grass which is within a few weeks established, by casting its rhizoms, converted into small pieces, over the broken and levelled ground, a process extensively adopted by the Director of the Sydney Botanical Garden.

Charles Moore.

It tends also much to subdue weeds. On the even surfaces of ground clothed with Cynodon, an ever verdant fine turf can be maintained by the ready appliance of lawn-cutters and rollers. Banded flower masses might be interwoven; but as yet such works of luxury, for which, after the lapse of the season, no permanent return can be shown, have not been attempted in this young establishment. There is, nevertheless, a gay display of flowers in the special garden land through the greater part of the year; indeed, the variety is far greater than a superficial observer will imagine, inasmuch as the area variedly studded with flowers is so extremely extensive.

The incessant calls, however, to provide for public fêtes, tea meetings, and bazaars, decorative flowers, not rarely deprive the Garden of a real show of ornament. The plants throughout the ground are very extensively labelled, about 3,000 iron labels being employed.

4

M had been criticized for using Latin names rather than English names on the labels, to which he is reported to have responded that except for the indigenous British plants, which were labelled with their common English names in the Gardens, English names would have had to be invented, and 'to form arbitrarily new words in a living language ... would load the science with a host of new names more calculated to cause confusion than to advance knowledge' (Argus, 29 August 1868, p. 5). Without acknowledging the source, the Geelong a dvertiser, 31 August 1868, p. 3, re-published the comments as if they were a direct quotation from M.

Labels, however, with fused, and thus unobliterable letters, are here, as elsewhere, yet a great desideratum. In the large conservatory all plants are placed, for instruction's sake, along both sides of the stages, so as to represent those of the Western and of the Eastern hemisphere separately, the plants of the various families being again grouped together. In an inexpensive structure, far too modest to do justice to so grand a plant, the Royal Water-lily has flowered throughout two seasons, and repeatedly has ripened seeds, available for transmission to the hotter parts of Australia. The high temperature of the Victoria-house is inexpensively provided by its connection with one of the forcing pits, while, in the humid heat, Vanilla and many other epiphytal Orchids of the jungles of the torrid zone find here the conditions necessary for their permanent existence. The standard collection of Vines and Orchard trees has annually been added to. Fruit from these has been supplied to public charities. The experimental ground has also annually grown richer. To attempt to specify the treasures of the Garden, whether utilitarian or ornamental (many first introduced by the Director into Australia), is beyond the scope of these pages. The special catalogue appended to this document

The catalogue was apparently ready for printing soon after this letter was written and a request to print 100 copies was made; see notes to M to E. Symonds, 19 September 1868 (in this edition as 68-09-19a). It remained unpublished in March 1869 (M to W. Macarthur, 19 March 1869), and no published version has been found. The MS is transcribed as 'Garden-Catalogue 1868' in the 'manuscripts' section of this website.

will exhibit many which we possess, but not all, inasmuch as thousands of plants occur yet in too young a state to correct their erroneous appellations. Mere varieties and garden hybrids, as a general rule, have been excluded from the catalogue.

I specially alluded to some of the leading useful or remarkable plants. But an explanatory enumeration of all would enlarge to a volume, or might find space in a contemplated publication, which would serve as a garden guide. To add still further to this valuable collection, Mr. Heyne proceeded, at my request, early this year to Sydney, to select from the local conservatories. In this object he was very liberally supported by Mr. C. Moore. The suppression of the two principal kinds of Mistletoe (Loranthus pendulus and Loranth. celastroides), which, on neglected ground, often manifest themselves by the widely visible dead ramifications of the trees, causes here much loss of labor. The annihilation of the trophy guns throughout Britain suggests the propriety of removing those which occupied for some years a position in this Garden. The spot allotted to them might far more pleasingly be occupied by a small ornamental building, in which the native birds, which, permanently or migratively, are inmates of the Garden area (approximately 140 species) could be illustrated by single museum specimens, to satisfy constant inquiry in reference to the scientific names of the species. The lake is often swarming with water birds, the tame swans, pelicans, ducks, &c., acting as decoy birds. Thrushes teem in the shrubberies. To the aviary, donations of parrots, cockatoos, and other showy native birds, not formerly kept, would add much interest. The formation of an outdoor fresh-water tank, for the culture of hardy aquatics, which in the lake generally succumb under the prey of water birds, is highly recommendable. The introduction and multiplication of important plants, of industrial or medicinal value, has received careful attention. Thus, about 10,000 young Peru bark plants have been raised, comprising mainly Cinchona succirubra, C. calisaya and C. officinalis, the latter, the most hardy of all, predominating.

These plants have withstood the night frosts, which we experience near Melbourne, when merely placed in brush shades. On one occasion the thermometer in these shades sunk to 28° F., while in the open ground it stood at 24° F. near the surface; still the plants suffered not further than getting some of the leaves and youngest branches injured, but soon formed new leaf-buds. These frosts affect, moreover, also some of the plants which inhabit the mild sheltered glens of our ranges, and I am, therefore, justified in anticipating that, in many of the warmer forest regions of Victoria, the Cinchonae could be grown to advantage, these plants being consociated with Fern trees in their native haunts in the middle regions of the Andes. Coffee plants scarcely suffered in the brush shades, in which the temperature may be regarded almost analogous to that of our fern-tree gullies. It would be very important to ascertain, by actual test in the ranges, whether the Coffee and Cinchonae would yield prolifically. In such localities, under any circumstances, the Tea-shrub would so luxuriate as to produce an abundant crop of leaves, since even in dry localitites of the Botanic Garden, and in its poor soil, the Tea-bushes have grown quite well. Cork-Oaks, of which, like of Tea, several thousand plants are reared, would also produce far more rapidly their useful bark in the ranges than near the city; there the American Hickories and Walnuts, of which a copious supply of seedlings exist, would grow much faster. These, with the Red Cedar, West Australian Mahogany, Sumach, Scotino, Dates, Carob trees, Valonia and Dye-Oaks, Mastix trees, Arrowroot, and perhaps also Tapioca, Tamarinds, and very many other prominently utilitarian plants, would thrive best in the rich humid soil of our mountains, and might occupy localities not readily eligible for cereals.

Observations in reference to the effect of night frosts on the principal plants, as well as records concerning the flowering time of various species, are registered in the office. Notes are also accumulating respecting the adaptability of the dry desert tracts, and again of the alpine highlands, to certain cultures. By a Parliamentary return submitted last year, it was shown that, from 1859 till July 8, 1867, not less than 355,218 plants were distributed to the public reserves, cemeteries, church and school grounds of Victoria.

7

See M, Parliamentary return, 8 July 1867 (in this edition as 67-07-08a).

During 1868, again, 49,475 plants were rendered available for this purpose. These distributions comprised very many of the rarest Pines and other select plants, often not otherwise available, many requiring two years' attention in the nurseries here, thus involving the necessity of maintaining, during some years, approximately, 40,000 plants alone under pot culture. Bearing in mind the increasing extent of trading establishments, exceedingly well conducted, it is worthy of the consideration of the Government whether these distributions from a public establishment should not be materially decreased, or abolished altogether. Numerous plantations, by the impetus given, are now established on public grounds throughout the colony, from whence, moreover, seeds and cuttings might be locally obtained. Eminently useful plants of many kinds have, for local experiments, been widely scattered over the country. The Treasury Reserve received last year 245 to some extent already upgrown coniferous trees.

Turning to the special phytographic department, it may be observed, that the Museum now contains about 350,000 prepared and arranged plants; the Australian portion being richer than that of any kindred institution in existence.

is, through my aid, under the rare advantages attainable in the great national institution of Kew, just completed by the President of the Linnean Society, and comprises the orders of Corolliflorae. Extensive preliminary researches have been carried on already for the fifth, sixth, and seventh volumes; to which, finally, a supplement is to be added. To promote, by further field researches, the objects of this large work, on which all subsequent medical technological and rural observations in reference to the native Australian vegetation must rest, I visited, during the past spring, one of the most important tracts of West Australia. Finally, also, the great task yet remains to be performed of tracing out more completely the relation of geology to the distribution of the plants existing as well as passed away — a line of researches for which excellent geographical and geological maps are annually affording more facilities. Mr. Dallachy continues sedulously to collect, both for the Garden and the Phytographic Museum, in the north-east part of Queensland.

The following are the genera which, since the issue of my last Report, by local independent researches, have been added to the system of Australian plants: — Dillenia, Cakile, Aldrovanda, Gomphandra, Connarus, Strongylodon, Salacia, Caryospermum, Casearia, Cucurbita, Oenanthe, Antirrhoea, Lasianthus, Ophiorrhiza, Geophila, Aniseia, Erycibe, Ichnocarpus, Ceropegia, Bassia, Chrysophyllum, Thunbergia, Graptophyllum, Dischisma, Cylicodaphne, Cinnamomum, Plecospermum, Taxotrophis, Hyrtanandra, Nepenthes, Apostasia, Cirropetalum,

In the event of its proving inadvisable to devote the New Exhibition-building to the intended collections of a general industrial museum, it might be desirable to enlarge the Phytological Museum-building in the Garden, in order that a full display of vegetable objects of industrial interest may be formed. The absolute want both of space and accommodation frustrated every attempt to render my establishment also useful in this direction.

During the Intercolonial Exhibition

16

an apt opportunity arose to represent more fully the technological value of many native vegetable products, and for this purpose, from the ordinary resources of the establishment, a laboratory was constructed. I need not detail the experiments conducted in reference to the value and percentage of many kinds of paper material, essential oils, dye stuffs, wood vinegar, tar, wood spirits, and tannic acid, from native plants, especially trees; on all of which ample information was offered in the documents concerning the Exhibition. These phyto-chemical observations have since been continued as far as circumstances permitted.

Appended to this Report are the tables of very extensive series of analyses, conducted in detail by Mr. Chr. Hoffmann,

17

These tables are not reproduced here. See B69.07.03, pp. 14-15.

in reference to the yield of potash in our more gregarious native trees. They show that the manufacture of this alkali can be pursued here more profitably than in those countries in which the supply of original timber is far less extensive than in Victoria. The examination into the yield of iodine and bromine in our seaweeds is commenced; likewise, the yield of soda in one of the principal littoral plants is recorded. I have entered also on a series of toxicological researches, by which it is hoped the nature of those poison plants so injurious to stock will be fully elucidated.

A supplementary catalogue of the library is also given;

18

many of these works, however, had to be provided by the Director's private means.

It yet remains for me to record my sense of obligation to the very numerous donors, who enriched the various branches of the establishment during a more recent period. A glance at the list of these supporters will also be the most convincing proof of the wide external communications of the department, while a reference to the plan annexed

will at once largely explain the extent of the internal operations, which are singularly multifarious. It would be unjust were I not specially to allude to the graceful concession continued by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, the owners of the Great Britain, and many other mercantile and seafaring gentlemen, to convey, freight free, the consignments of this establishment, or were I to pass silently the kind aid rendered by His Excellency Sir Henry Barkly, in effecting from Mauritius the final transits to Bourbon

and various parts of South Africa. The foreign communications involve the necessity of correspondence in several languages, the number of all letters issued being about 3,000 a year. The permanent property in buildings, iron fences, drains, boulders, waterworks, collections, library, and lasting improvements, irrespective of the plants distributed, and irrespective of the value of the local plantations, fell not short of £27,000, according to an estimate made two years ago by professional gentlemen not connected with the department. This lasting property increased, by additions since, considerably in value. Nor is in this estimate the value of the iron bridge included. While aiming, as far as in his power, at the utmost economy, the Director hopes that those means which Parliament may also in future be pleased to entrust to him will proportionately enhance the lasting value of the establishment, and bear, in scientific information afforded, and in practical services rendered, always an ample return.
