in axillary umbels. They are not particularly showy. The drooping habit of 

 the branchiate and the characteristic foliage make the tree a striking ornamental. 



It has been recommended by some for street work but so far as noted has not 

 been tried out. 



E. ro strata. Schlect. This form is quite near 15. tereticornis and resembles 

 it closely in many ways, but having as a rule somewhat narrower foliage. The 

 characteristics often given for -the caps do not hold in many cases. The tree 

 attains considerable size, thrives best in fairly moist soil, tolerating flooding 

 from time to time and even a larga per cent of salt in the soil. It is as hardy 

 as the Blue Gum. 



.rudis. Endl. This species is a medium sized tree, branching freely. 

 It has rough persistent bark and a marked drooping habit of the branches, which 

 gives it a very picturesque appearance. The foliage is thick and strongly 

 scanted. The flowers are numerous but quite inconspicuous as the stamens are 

 not sho\vy. The leaves show considerable variation, on one tree varying from 

 ovate to falcate. This tree would perhaps be acceptable for a wide street with 

 very wide parkings. 



JJ. tereticornig. Sm. This species is very si'milar to 1C. ro strata described 

 above. Like it, it prefers a moist subsoil and will stand excess of water at 

 times. 



. yiminalis. Labill . This tree, commonly called the H ;fonna Gum" is a 

 large tree of great beauty. It branches frealy and often has a good spreading 

 form. The bark varies in texture, either showing a white deciduous color, or 

 a rough dark color. The leaves are rather narrow. The flowers are white, borne 

 in axillary umbels almost always three flowered. This feature is one which 

 superficially separates it from E. Stuartiana. F.v M. the "Apple Scented Gum" 

 which it much resembles. 



The following species have been reported from California. They are taken 



from Dr. Hall's list for the new edition of Bailey's Encyclopedia of American 

 Horticulture.
