EUCALYPTUS TREES. 461 
Achras sapota, Linne.—The Sapodilla Plum of 
West India and Central Continental America. It is 
not improbable that this fine evergreen tree would 
produce its delicious fruit in East Gipps Land within 
Victorian boundaries, as tall palms and many other 
plants of tropical type occur there. Moreover, Achras 
Australis, a tree yielding also tolerably good fruit, 
oceurs as far south as Kiama, in New South Wales, 
where the clime is very similar to that of many for- 
est regions of Victoria. Other sapotaceous trees, pro- 
ducing table- fruit, such as the Lucuma mammosa 
(the Marmalade-tree), Lucuma Bonplandi, Chrysoph- 
yllum Cainito (the Star Apple), all from West India ; 
and Lucuma Cainito of Peru might also be subjected 
to trial-culture in our warmest forest valleys ; so fur- 
thermore many of the trees of this order, from which 
gutta-percha is obtained (species of Isonandra, Sider- 
oxylon, Ceratophoruts, Cacosmanthus, Bassia, Mimu- 
sops and Imbricaria), may prove hardy in our shelter- 
ed woodlands, as they seem to need rather an equable, 
humid, mild clime than the heat of the torrid zone. 
Adenostemum nitidum, Persoon. — South Chile, 
where this stately tree passes by the appellations: 
Queule, Nuble, and Arauco. Wood durable and beau- 
tifully veined. Fruit edible. 
Agaricus Ceesareus, Scheeffer.—In the spruce forests 
of Middle and South Europe. Trials might be made 
to naturalize this long- famed and highly delicious 
mushroom in our forests when spruce-fir plantations 
are made. It attains a width of nearly one foot, and 
is of a magnificent orange-color. Numerous other 
edible Agarics could doubtless be brought into these 
southern colonies by the mere dissemination of the
