EUCALYPTUS TREES. 483 
Eucalyptus tereticornis, Smith.—From East Queens- 
land to Gipps Land. Closely allied to E. rostrata, 
and seemingly not inferior to it in value. 
Eucalyptus tesselaris, F. v. Mueller. — North Aus- 
tralia and Queensland. Furnishes a brown, rather 
elastic wood, not very hard, available for many kinds 
‘of artisans’ work, and particularly sought for staves 
and flooring. The tree exudes much astringent gum- 
resin (P. O’Shanesy). Many other Eucalypts could 
have been mentioned as desirable for wood-culture, 
but it would have extended this enumeration beyond 
the limits assigned to it. Moreover, the quality of 
many kinds is not yet sufficiently ascertained, or not 
yet fully appreciated even by the artisans and wood- 
men. 
Kueryphia cordifolia, Cavanilles.—The Muermo, or 
Ulmo of Chile. This magnificent evergreen tree 
attains a height of over 100 feet, producing a stem of 
sometimes 6 feet diameter. The flowers are much 
sought by bees. For oars and rudders the wood is 
preferred in Chile to any other (Dr. Philippi). We 
possess congeneric trees in Tasmania (KE. Billardieri) 
and in New South Wales (E. Moorei). 
Eugenia cordifolia, Wight. — Ceylon, up to 3,000 
feet high. Fruit of one inch diameter. 
Eugenia Hallii, Berg.—Quito. Fruit of large size. 
Eugenia maboides, Wight. — Ceylon, up to 7,000 
feet elevation. Fruit of the size of a small cherry 
(Dr. Thwaites). 
Eugenia Malaccensis, Linné.—The large Rose Ap- 
ple, India. Aithough strictly a tropical tree, it has 
been admitted into this list as likely adapted for our 
warmer forest regions, The leaves are often a foot
