EUCALYPTUS. 95 



rostrata, pilularis, diversicolor, siderophloia , cornuta, calo- 

 phylla, obcordata, corynocalyx, robusta and amygdalina, in 

 the same place, did remarkably well. 



The garden is near the coast and, especially where the 

 obliquas are, is exposed to the summer trade wind. They 

 all lean away from the breeze, in this respect being 

 specially different from Eucalyptus robusta and Eucalyptus 

 cornuta on either side. 



There were a number of these trees on South Main 

 Street, corner of i4th, in Los Angeles, that showed a 

 fairly good growth. All except three of them have been 

 cut down and these three have been topped by a telephone 

 company. Thus the only street planting of Eucalyptus 

 obliqua that I know is not a very satisfactory illustration 

 of what this tree will do when thus used. The specimen 

 of this tree at the Paradise nurseries, South Pasadena, is a 

 handsome tall tree, with dark green glossy leaves, that 

 will average well with the other Eucalyptus species planted 

 there. 



There are good specimens of Eucalyptus obliqua at the 

 Forestry Station, Santa Monica, and at the Heights. The 

 bark is employed for primitive roofing in new settlements. 



EUCALYPTUS RACRORRHYNCHA. 



Eucalyptus macrorrhyncha is a sufficiently similar tree 

 native further west to go by the same popular names as 

 obliqua. We have some growing but cannot yet tell 

 whether it does better here than Eucalyptus obliqua or 

 not. It is a very inferior looking tree, being with us 

 irregular and shambling in growth.
