LIST OF USEFUL TREES WITH REMARKS. 



and no expense, they can soon collect a bundle, and to poor 

 natives coming up from the low country where the thermo- 

 meter is ninety odd and never under sixty ; cheap fuel is a 

 great boon, the leaves being full of oil also burn well. There 

 is another Eucalyptus ; rostrata or red gum, this grows nearly 

 as large as Eucalyptus Globulus, the wood is quite as good, 

 and it furnishes a red gum highly astringent called gum kino 

 and very useful in dysentery. Other varieties of Eucalyptus 

 have been introduced here by me. Varieties of the Jarrah, 

 one of the finest timbers in the world, but unfortunately it 

 thrives in a warmer climate. Eucalyptus Amygdalina has 

 also been grown, this tree is the wonder of the world. Some 

 stems measured in Australia were nearly five hundred feet 

 in length, exceeding the Californian Giants Wellington ia 

 Gigantea in height. Several species from Queensland Hill 

 will no doubt be found to suit the climate of Mysore, and 

 perhaps even the low country, but of this, I am doubtful. 

 Eucalyptus Globulus would not even grow in Coorg.
