 derable nectar from them. This is a species needing at least roadside 



planting. 



IS. eornuta. Labill. The Yate is a species forming a small to medium head. 

 The largest specimen noted is at Berkeley, on the University campus. It ie a 

 tree with a spreading top, rather broad leaves, and umbels of flowers peculiar 

 for their beak-like caps and long greenish yellow stamens. These features 

 often attract popular notice. The var.lehmanni has even more striking flowers 

 in this regard but at best it is but a large shrub.. So far as was noted this 

 tree did not occur in street work and so no recommendation can be offered either 

 for or against. 



J5. co ryno calyx. F. v. Mueller, The Sugar Gum is used rather freely in 

 San Diego . It is found in most cases as a small tree with broad 



foliage and rather slender tops. In most places the practice of beheading has 

 been carried on so that in many cases there was but a compact head of new shoots. 

 This is hardly advantageous to the beauty of the tree but it has been necessary 

 in order to keep the tree within bounds. The treo is fairly popular and cer- 

 tainly has distinctive and attractive foliage. 



E. crebra, F.v. Mueller, is a form with sraall or medium-sized tree, rather 

 good sized leaves and many small flowers produced freely in short panicles. This 

 was not noted in the regular plantings and is not to bo recommended. 



IS. erythronema. Turcz. This is one of the most ornamental of the smaller 

 eucalypts. At present it is not very commonly found but is worthy of considerable 

 notice. It is a small tree of not very rapid growth with medium sized dark 

 green leaves and axillary umbels of brilliant crimson flowers. They are not as 

 large as the flowers of JE. ficifolia but are very freely produced and are quite as 

 showy. The tree has a good, erect, pyramidal habit. It was called to our 

 attention in San Diego where an excellent specimen was shown. This tree, perhaps, 

 has a place on the streets* 



ficifolia. F.v. Mueller. This is perhaps the commonest of the showy 

 forms of Eucalyptus. The tree is one of medium size, very similar in all
