Station. The timber is of a beautiful red color and is 

 used in building, etc. It also makes a good fuel. I have 

 reports that indicate brittleness of mature trees in strong 

 winds. 



This variety resembles somewhat Eucalyptus resinifera. 



EUCALYPTUS RE6INIFERA. 



Eucalyptus resinifera, is a valuable tree with a large per- 

 centage of kino in the wood. It does well in Southern Cali- 

 fornia. While probably of equal utility with .Eucalyptus 

 robusta it is not so handsome a tree. Eucalyptus robusta 

 under favorable conditions near the sea coast and in moist 

 land is likely to prove the handsomest foliaged tree of the 

 genus we have introduced. A fine specimen of the resin- 

 ifera can be seen at the Forestry Station. There are a 

 number of old specimens, '76, in the Nevada Ave., park, 

 Santa Monica. 



The kino of commerce is largely derived from districts 

 about Sydney, and has been attributed to Eucalyptus 

 resinifera. In fact it is named after this tree. It now ap- 

 pears that this kino is mainly derived from Eucalyptus sid- 

 erophloia and that little if any is from Eucalyptus resinifera. 



The Eucalypti containing a large percentage of kino in 

 the wood have usually a small amount of oil in the foliage. 



It is therefore to be presumed that the best sanitary 

 effects can not be obtained from such species.
