Amongst other plants worthy of notice in this part of the garden are the Chinese cinnamon, the pretty Aglaia odorata, both of which are very sweet scented and were accidentally discovered by plant hunters in China from forests full of wild beasts. Two specimens of the cocoa-nut palm imported from the Straits are promising well. Other fruits-such as the loquat (Eriobotrya japonica), the Chinese gooseberry (Averrhoa Carambola), the wangpee (Cookia pune tata), and the longan and leechee were also imported.
