Eucalyptus, Sp. ? Whittinghame, East Lothian (Mr. J. 

 Garrett, head gardener). From seed about 1845. In 

 1861, when 40 feet high, injured by frost and cut over at 

 9 feet up. Stump apparently dead for nearly two years, 

 but in 1863 it budded at the base and made a fresh start. 

 Stem at 3 feet up divides into four branches. 



Girths, April 1893 (branches taken at 5 feet above 

 ground). 



The upward growth has been at the annual rate of 

 about 2 feet for thirty years ; and the girth-rate at 2 feet, 

 probably the narrowest part, about 3 j inches for forty-three 

 years, a deduction of four years being made for growth to 

 2 feet, and for two years of inactivity, from 1861 to 1863.
