Notes on Eucalypts from the Department of Agriculture. No. 1652, 

 E. incrassata, the "Mallee" gum, increased 2 feet in height between 

 January and May, 1902. This species stands up fairly well against the 

 wind, but some specimens are crooked and poor. 



No. 1672, E. rudis X E. rostrata, is more stocky than the preceding 

 and promises good results. The permanent leaves show considerable 

 variation in different plants, as if the type were not yet fixed. 



No. 1678, E. botryoides X E. rostrata, known in France as E. Trabuti, 

 is a very interesting tree. While slower in growth than many species, 

 it is now gaining (growth from January to May, 1902, was 3 feet). 

 The trees are remarkably uniform in appearance and incline to spread. 



No. 1670, E. rostrata X E. resinifera, has also shown rapid spring 

 growth, average plants girthing 1 inch more in May than in January 

 and standing 2 feet higher. The rostrata blood shows very plainly in 

 this cross. It is worthy of extended trials. 



No. 1646, E. maculata, the "Morrel Gum"; No. 1617, E. pauciflora, 

 the "White Gum"; No. 1616, E. globulus, the well-known " Blue Gum"; 

 No. 1622, E. crebra, the "White Ironbark," and some others are 

 already represented by large trees, as well as in the new planta- 

 tions. The best young specimen of E. globulus measured May 1st was 

 17 feet high and girthed 12 inches. 



No. 1635, received as "a species," is otherwise noted in the Inventory 

 as E. gracilipes, which is said to resemble E. leucoxylon. It is a slow 

 grower here, and does not as yet seem superior to leucoxylon. 



No. 1633, also unnamed when received, is E. gomphocornuta. Its 

 growth is practically identical with that of No. 1643 (E. macrantha), 

 which is extremely poor. It evidently requires more rainfall and a 

 heavier soil. 



No. 1639, which came unnamed, but was inventoried as E.jugalis, 

 a " small tree 25 to 30 feet high," is a very beautiful species, much 

 resembling in tint, odor, and appearance a half-dwarf E. globulus. 

 The plant is more graceful, and the first leaves somewhat more pointed. 

 Its growth averages 6 feet, as against 15 feet for E. globulus. This 

 species should have value for ornamental planting. 



No. 1609, E. largiflorens, the "bastard box," a valuable timber tree, 

 grows very slowly compared with other species. E. pilularis, the Black- 

 butt (No. 1657), does somewhat better, and E. stellulata, the "Green 

 Gum" (No. 1651), exceeds by a trifle such species as E. macrocarpa and
