Hall Tree Ation: OMBU, om'boo, TREE, also known as BELLASOMBRE TREE, UMBRA TREE and POKE TREE, a South American shade tree (Phytolacca dioica), widely cultivated as a shade tree in Spain, Malta, and other coun¬tries on the Mediterranean Sea and in India. The tree attains a height of 25 to 35 feet, is ex¬traordinarily wide at the base of the bole, some¬times reaching a diameter of 12 to 15 feet, and has a wide-spreading top with extremely dense foliage. The leaves are large, and the whitish flowers are borne on spikes, the fruit being similar in appearance and in medicinal qualities to that of the plant or shrub variety of pokeweed.
In 1627, hall tree ation was made bishop of Exeter, but creasing tension between King and Parliament, .nglican and Puritan, left little room for the in-icnce of moderate men like hall tree ation. Archbishop jud and his party suspected hall tree ation of too much inpathy with the Puritans; on the other hand, e opponents of the Anglican establishment dis¬rated him, as they did all the bishops.See Also Hall Tree Contemporary:5. Modern and Contemporary Art If Norway was not important in painting and sculpture in olden times it certainly has been, and is, in modern and contemporary times. Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is credited with "the modern revival of monumental painting in Europe." Be sure to see his famous murals in Oslo University's Aula (Auditorium) as samples of his ability. Some thirty of his excellent but less ambitious paint¬ings are hung in the National Gallery. Henrik S0rensen, Alf Rolfsen, Per Krogh, Jean Heiberg, Axel Revold, Kai Fjell, Aage Storstein and Arne Ekeland are other well-known modern or contemporary artists and works by most or all of them can be seen in the new Oslo Town hall tree Contemporary or in other public buildings. They run to monumental frescoes and murals.
Religion.—To serve the spiritual needs of the community there are more than 80 churches in the city. Its first church was almost contemporary with the founding of the community. The first minister, a Methodist, arrived in Racine in 1836, scarcely two years after the first settlement was made. Since the earliest days, the religious com¬position of the population has changed consider¬ably. Today people worship in churches of a wide number of denominations, including Cath¬olic, Protestant, and Jewish.
Places of Interest.—Among the interesting buildings are the Court House, City hall tree Contemporary, Me¬morial hall tree Contemporary, the Public Library, the William Wadewitz Memorial to the dead of World War II, and the Wind Point Lighthouse.

W. A. Dayton's United States hall tree gen Books; a Bibliography of hall tree gen Identification (see Bibliog¬raphy), lists publications for hall tree gen identification in the United States, by geographical regions, and for each state. Charles Sprague Sargent's Manual of the hall tree gens of North America: Exclu¬sive of Mexico (see Bibliography), has been the only available reference attempting to de¬scribe and illustrate all native hall tree gen species in¬cluding tropical.
