106 EUCAL YPTUS. 



EUCALYPTUS CORYPIBOSA, 



Eucalyptus corytnbosa is another tree that has not, to 

 my knowledge, been absolutely identified as growing in Cal- 

 ifornia although introduced here years ago by me. This 

 tree stands considerable stress of drouth and cold. It is a 

 thick leaved tree with persistent rough bark. The timber 

 contains large amounts of kino from the red coloration 

 of which this tree derives its common name of "Blood- 

 wood." 



It is a source of commercial kino. The wood does 

 not make good fuel. 



The corymbosa is one of the Eucalypti reported to have 

 scented flowers. In this case the odor is pleasant. 



There are several reputed specimens of Eucalyptus 

 corymbosa here. Two of these are at the Santa Monica 

 Forestry Station ; but as they have not, to my knowledge, 

 flowered, and as the tree labels at that station are not re- 

 liable, it is not possible to say what these trees really are. 

 These specimens answer in a general way to the descrip- 

 tion of Eucalyptus corymbosa, and are good looking trees 

 of symmetrical growth with handsome dark green foliage. 



The test of this tree in the Argentine Republic turned 

 out so exceptionally favorable that I have ordered again 

 from Australia a fresh supply of seeds together with those 

 of Eucalyptus urnigera, Eucalyptus coccifera, Eucalyptus 

 microtheca, Eucalyptus salmonophloia, Eucalyptus miniata, 

 Eucalyptus phoenicea and Eucalyptus macrocarpa. The
