Such an appellation only belongs to two other species of beech and the Winter's bark.

The other is, that parrots and humming-birds, generally the inhabitants of warm regions, are very numerous in the southern and western parts of the Strait—the former feeding upon the seeds of the Winter's bark, and the latter having been seen by us chirping and sipping the sweets of the Fuchsia and other flowers, after two or three days of constant rain, snow, and sleet, during which the thermometer had been at freezing point.

Mr. Darwin also saw parrots feeding on the seeds of a tree called the winter's bark, south of lat.

Parrots are found as far south as Tierra del Fuego, where Darwin saw them feeding on seeds of the Winter’s bark.

Tasmannia aromatica.—The bark of this plant possesses aromatic qualities, closely resembling Winter's bark.
