E. roliista Smith, the Stringy Bark Tree, (see our plate of 
a young ttee in Vol. II.) is a native of New Holland, growing 
to the height of upwards of 1L00ft., which stands the open 
air, in mild winters, in the neighbourhood of London. ‘The 
leaves are large, and the entire plant has a magnificent appear- 
ance. There are plants in the Horticultural Society’s Garden, 
at W. Bromley’s, Esq., Stamford Hill, and at some other places Wit / py 6 bi, 
in the neighbourhood of London. RANA IN - 2 
: E. viminalis Labill. Nov. @ i ant j 
Holl., ii. p. 12, t. 151. and our 
figs. 692. and 693., is a tree, 
a native of Van Diemen’s 
Land, with the leaves linear- 
lanceolate and flowers sessile, 
three on the top of each pe- 
duncle. It was introduced in 
‘1810. 
E. amygdilina Labill. Nov. 
Hoil., ii. p. 14. t. 154; E. glo- 
bularis Hort.; and our figs. 
eo oe 94 and 695.; has linear-lan- 
2 Calsriad- igh ee ceolate leaves, attenuated at SS 
the base, and acuminately mucronate at the apex. Peduncles axillary and lateral ; and umbels 6—S- 
flowered, nearly capitate. It is a native of Van Diemen’s Land. Introduced in 1820. 
E. piperita Smith, and our figs. 696. and 690. (the latter of a tree 50 ft. high, in the neigh- 
bourhood of Sydney), the Blue Gum Tree, has leaves from 4in. to 7 in. long, and 1 in. broad, shining 
tm both surfaces. It is a native ef New Holland, where it forms a lofty tree; and, in this 
country, it is almost as hardy as E. robista. 
E. cordata Labill. Nov. Holl. ii. p.13. t. 152., and our fig. 698., has the lid of the capsule de- 
pressed, and shorter than the cup, which is obovate. Flowers 3—4 in each head. There is a tree 
at W. Bromley’s, Esq., Stamford Hill, which appears tolerably hardy. 
E. pulverulénta Sims Bot. Mag., t.208.; E. corddita Hort. Berol.; and our fig. 697.; is a native of 
New Holland, with powdered leaves, and the lid of the capsule truly hemispherical. It grows 
to a lofty tree in its native country, and seems tolerably hardy in the neighbourhood of London. 
‘There are trees of this species in the Horticultural Society’s Garden; in the arboretum at Kew, 
and one 20 ft. high in the garden of William Bromley, Esq., at Stamford Hill, all of which flower 
eae? every year. The latter had been 10 years planted in 1835, without receiving any protection 
whatever. 











‘E. diversifolia Bonpl , E. connaita Dum. Cours., E. piperita 
Hort. Berol., E. heterophylla Sw#., E. angustifdlia Hort., is - 
a native of New Holland, with lanceolate, acuminated leaves, “~~ 
where it forms a lofty tree. Plants in the Horticultural 
Society’s Garden have stood out three years, but are not found so hardy as E. pulverulénta, E. 
robusta, E. resinifera, and E, piperita, 
. Several other species of Eucalyptus are in British gardens ; and there is probably no very great dif- 
ference in their degree of hardiness. It is much to be wished that proprictors in the South of Eng- 
land would encourage their gardeners to plant out these, and other Australian trees, in dry sheltered 
places in their shrubberies and woods. The plants cost little ; and seeds are very frequently imported 
and might be sent home in the greatest abundance if there were a demand for them.
