ii 8 EUCALYPTUS. 



lyptus globulus, that also has alternating pink and white 

 flowers. This year about two-thirds of the flowers are 

 pink and one-third the usual cream- white. One often sees 

 imperfectly colored, or, as in the hydrangia, differently 

 shaded flowers on the same base color, but two distinct 

 colors such as madder-pink and cream-white solid in alter- 

 nating blooms on the same branch, is something novel to 

 my limited experience. This blue gum is on Third Street, 

 Santa Monica, in the business quarter. 



SPECIES AT UNIVERSITY, BERKELEY. 



In a day's trip about Berkeley, I found fourteen species 

 of Eucalypti, of these a very poor specimen of Eucalyptus 

 redunca was the only one not known here. However, new 

 sprouts from a number of eucalyptus trees, cut out in the 

 grounds, show these to be probably species not known in 

 California. It seems a pity that rare trees should have 

 been chosen for the thinning process, instead of some of 

 the excessive plantings of Monterey Cypress. 



Back of a grand stand on the campus is the best speci- 

 men I knew of Eucalyptus viminalis with persistent bark. 

 It is a handsome tree, with flower buds larger and more 

 nearly round than the smooth-barked decorticating variety. 

 It is not so erect in growth. Along side of these dark 

 rough-barked viminalis stands for convenient comparison a 

 superb specimen of the white smooth-barked variety. 

 These trees seem to me to have differences great enough to 

 warrant specific rank in each case. The habit of growth 

 in the two trees is not the same. The rough-barked one 

 is irregular and spreading, while the smooth-barked one is
