Euc. saligna (Saligna Gum). Suited to much the same country 

 as Euc. pilularis and is being grown fairly extensively at all 

 the Government Plantations along the coastal belt of the 

 Union and also inland where the rainfall is good. A lofty, 

 straight and very rapid grower producing a comparatively 

 soft and light timber suitable, among other uses, for boxes 

 and potato crates. Endures little frost. 



Euc. botr})oides. Doing well on the Port Elizabeth drift sands 

 and at Bellville, near Cape Town. Also thriving in the 

 coastal plantations of Zululand and in the Barberton and 

 Pietersburg Districts of the Transvaal. Though not much 

 is as yet known of its requirements in South Africa it is 

 likely to give the best results along the coast where the 

 rainfall is 30 inches or more or inland in sub-tropical locali- 

 ties where the rainfall is heavy. Does not stand severe 

 frost and produces a fair eucalypt timber. 



Euc. cornuta (The Yate) . Thrives well on sand and other soils 

 in the southern and south-western districts and its cultiva- 

 tion should be confined to the coast wdthin the winter rain- 

 fall areas. Pioduces a heavy timber, probably one of the 

 strongest in the world. 



(2) For Districts further inland with moderate 

 climatic conditions. 



Euc. cor})nocalyx. One of the best Eucalypts for the drier 

 Western districts. In the Western Province it is to be seen 

 growing successfully at various Government plantations such 

 as Tokai, Lebanon (Caledon), Cecilia (near Tokai), 

 Robertson, Kluitjes Kraal and at George. In the Eastern 

 Province it does only fairly well. It is more particularly 

 a Western Province Eucalypt, where it grows best a little 

 away from the coast and in localities where the rainfall is 

 from 20 to 30 inches. Should de well in a district such 

 as Malmesbury. Will stand moderate frost and consider- 

 able drought.
