Many of the gums have clear white or bluish-white bark, which 

 makes them stand out in a very striking manner among dark foliage. 

 Such is the lemon-scented gum, Eucalyptus citriodora, whose leaves, 

 when bruised, emit a delicious lemon-citron odour. It is a poor 

 specimen tree, but, in association with dark and closer-foliaged trees, 

 it is very handsome. 



Mahogany Gum — Eucalyptus botrj/ouies. 



Similarly, Eucalyptus saligna, the willow leaf gum, a more shapely 

 tree, stands out well in the tree garden. Eucalyptus cinerea, the 

 silver stringy bark, too, with its whitish-brown trunk, and glaucous 

 decorative foliage, is a fine shapely tree, and one of the most magnificent 

 of gums. Eucalyptus viminalis, the Manna gum, and Eucalyptus 

 ruhida, the candle bark gum, also appear as finely white-barked gums.
