Re: Maddy's > plant types

Ceres, the only book I have with me is Botanica which isn't as concise as a
lot of other references.  But it says the genus includes "small trees".
Where they draw the line between shrubs and small trees I am not sure.  One
listing is H. arnottianus, " of variable size up to 20 ft".  Ah, here's one:
H. tiliaceus, height and spread to 30 feet.  O f course, too, Botanica is
not an exhaustive listing, so I assume there are others.
