Casuarina equisetifolia, Malphigia glabra, Hibiscus tilliaceus and
many more. This policy encourages other species to be used as

are much affected by the Taiwan style.
The convention featured many experts that gave demonstra-

demonstration on a Podocarpus. He chose a tall tree for his

right Pemphis acidula and turned it into a cascading style. It
was fun and educational to see the demo. Pang Yung Liu from
Taiwan refined a Murraya paniculata and Wen Jen Hsu, also
