The dragon tree of the Canary Islands is notable for the existence of individuals believed to be the oldest living vegetable organism in the world. The age of one tree, in particular, the once famous dragon tree of Teneriffe, has usually been estimated to be from four thousand to six thousand years, having thus an antiquity comparable with that of the Pyramids. This wonder of the plant world was seventy feet or more in height, and sur vived intact until the year 1819, when during a terriffic storm one of the large branches was broken off. A similar storm in 1867 stripped the trunk of its remain ing branches and left it standing alone. This tree derives its common name from a reddish exudation known as dragon's blood, found in the sepulchral caves of the Guanches, and supposed to have been used by them in embalming their dead. It is said to have been at one time an im portant article of export from the Cana ries, and has never fallen entirely into disuse. : ' t MR. GEORGE II. QUINCY.
