the } 7 oung blue gum. The veining of the leaves and the 

 young branches are found at times a bright red. 



The name, pauciflora, does not seem as appropriate as 

 one given by Cunningham, viz.: Eucalyptus coriacea. 

 The leaves are thick and leathery. 



EUCALYPTUS PLANCHONIANA, 



Eucalyptus Planchoniana grows well at Santa Monica. 

 It is a tree reaching a height of 100 feet. The wood is 

 hard and durable, not easy to split. As the pauciflora is 

 indicated for cold districts the Planchoniana is equally rec- 

 ommendable for very hot dry ones. The fruit is large, 

 rather angular. The twigs are also angular. The foliage 

 is reported to form a better head than that of most Euca- 

 lypti. Altogether it is an agreeable form of the genus. 

 The kino from this tree is specially valuable. It is with 

 us a profuse bloomer, but has not proved a rapid 

 grower at Santa Monica. 



EUCALYPTU6 6IDEROPHLOIA. 



Eucalyptus siderophloia is the main source of the Syd- 

 ney ironbark timber and also of the kino attributed to 

 Eucalyptus resinifera. It is a tree of 100 to 150 feet in 

 height with narrow long leaves and rough persistent brown- 

 ish red bark. The tree has grown well at Santa Monica 

 where it has rather broad leaves, and proved hardy but has 

 not grown as fast as other trees. The crushed leaves have
