Dec, 1905.] THE EXTRA-TROPICAL TREES OF ARRAN. 145 
Il. Lucalyptus acervula (crowded).—South Australia and 
Tasmania, ‘“ Leaves equal-sided, shining, and often undulated ; 
many times the size of those of #. Gunnii, Flowers six or 
eight together” (“Tasmanian Timbers,” Vail). 
My plants were given me by Mr Birkbeck, Kinloch Hourn, 
and were raised by him from seed received from the Botanic 
Gardens, Hobart Town, Tasmania (lat. 424°), In Arran 
they are growing behind the Free Church at Corrie, alongside 
of a plant of Hucalyptus Gunnii. The situation is exposed to 
a concentrated sea-blast. They have grown well, while the 
Gunnii has remained almost stationary. This tree is regarded 
by some botanists as simply a variety of Hucalyptus Gunnii. 
If so, it is strange that in style of growth and appearance it 
has almost no resemblance to it. | therefore insert it.
