282 EUCALYPTUS. 



orchards are subjected, so also Kucalyptus oils from the 

 same species in different places may be presumed to some- 

 what vary. But as a blood orange cannot be expected on 

 a navel tree, nor a pomola grape fruit on a St. Michael, 

 nor a lemon on any orange tree, so we could not get 15 

 oz. from 1000 Ibs. of Eucalyptus rostrata leaves in Aus- 

 tralia and 55^2 oz. from rostrata in California. We assume 

 that Mr. Bosisto did not have the foliage of rostrata, but 

 that of some other tree. 



The oil of Eucalyptus Staigeriana alluded to by Prof. 

 Maiden has a very attractive oil containing citral. It is 

 spoken of as the most delicately fragrant of the Eucalyptus 

 oils. The tree seems to be quite unknown to Australian 

 seedsmen. The habitat of this tree is in Queensland, I 

 believe, on the Palmer River, though I have been unable 

 to find or recall the authority for this statement. Dr. 

 Woodbridge feels that only the door has been opened in 

 his examinations on the specie characteristics of Eucalyptus 

 oils.
