88 EUCALYPTUS. 



at Santa Monica. Fortunately it was a double row plan- 

 tation on each side of the road with Eucalyptus globulus 

 on the outside. In this combination it made an attractive 

 avenue. Alone, however, it might have been unsatisfactory. 

 While it does branch low the Yate makes a large handsome 

 tree with plenty of foliage. Mr. ScharfPs specimen is one of 

 his best trees. The growth of one in my Santa Monica 

 garden has been exceptionally satisfactory. The flowers are 

 so large and close in the umbel that each umbel looks 

 like a large single pompon flower of delicate light green 

 or light straw color. Its name comes from the long horn- 

 like cap of the flower. 



EUCALYPTUS LEHMANNI, 



A very near ally of Eucalyptus cornuta is Eucalyptus 

 Lehmanni. The latter is shorter, has larger fruits and 

 flowers and is specially distinguished by having the fruits 

 on each umbel all confluent forming a large ball that 

 suggests the wasps nests of my boyhood experience. 



Large Eucalyptus Lehmanni can be seen at Ellwood. 

 There are a few about Santa Monica, especially at the 

 Forestry Station. 



Besides the points named the leaf of this species is 

 shorter and thicker than that of Eucalyptus cornuta. It 

 is not so attractive a tree as the Yate. The effect of the 

 persistent large balls of fruits is very peculiar.
