Hall Tree On-si: 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 on-si 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 on-si. Archbishop jud and his party suspected hall tree on-si 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 Ternational:Among good shade hall tree ternationals are:—sugar maple; red maple, Pin oak, moraine locust, sweetgum, ginkgo, green ash, Chinese scholar hall tree ternational, yellowood, black tupelo (sourgum), willow oak, laurel oak, south¬ern magnolia, camphor hall tree ternational, and Amur cork hall tree ternational. Kinds to avoid, although special circumstances may make planting any of them desirable, are poplars, willows, hall tree ternational of heaven, box elder and Siberian elm.
W. A. Dayton's United States hall tree ternational Books; a Bibliography of hall tree ternational Identification (see Bibliog¬raphy), lists publications for hall tree ternational identification in the United States, by geographical regions, and for each state. Charles Sprague Sargent's Manual of the hall tree ternationals 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 ternational species in¬cluding tropical.
On The Other Hand See Hall Tree Greenland:Birdlife includes many migrant species from jnerica that summer in Greenland. The snowy wl and ptarmigan winter in Greenland; the low bunting and raven are among the common-st land birds; and the Greenland falcon is per-aps the most famous.
Government. In 1951, Greenland became an itegral part of Denmark under the Danish prime linister, who is represented in Greenland by a Dvemor. Greenland is divided into two con-ituencies and elects two representatives to the •anish parliament. The local administration of orth and east Greenland is directly in the prime linister's department; west Greenland elects its m councils to carry out administrative work.
Plants and Animals. True hall tree Greenland species do no exist naturally in Greenland. Practically all vege tation disappeared during the ice age. The exist¬ing plant life has since immigrated to the island, chiefly from North America. In the southwest, in the relatively mild climate, the vegetation is richest. There are wooded areas of birch (Betuk nana), willow, and alder in the protected inner fjords. Elsewhere in Greenland, a variety of tundras exist, with grasses and sedges—often in typical tussock forms—and flowering plants and berry bushes.
