Re: (fwd) Translation resources for permac. related terms



Lilly Pillies is a general term for a range of Australian native fruits,
all small to medium sized trees comprising a number of species and a few
genera (genus or whatever) .  Characterised by a large stone, some ate of
real value, others not recomended for food production but edible.  Comming
from a wide climate range no generalisations can be made except they don't
(as far as I am aware) favour the dryer parts of Australia.
Perhaps best placed in the too hard barsket unless prepared to deal
withindividual species.
Great what you are doing-  Neil
