Hedge planting in Brazil

926. Hedges are to be found in Brazil, in those districts which are cultivated, and in which the original forests have been almost entirely superseded by bananas, mangoes, and other fruit-bearing trees. The hedges are formed of a species of mimosa, and they are regularly clipped, Dr. Walsh informs us, like the hawthorn hedges of England. (Notices of Brazil, vol. ii. p. 299.)
