The following I have copied from a pamphlet, en- 

 titled « The Principal Timber-Trees Readily Eligible 

 for Victorian Industrial Culture," by Baron Ferd. 

 von Mueller. (The same ofi'ered to the Victorian 

 Acclimation Society — pages 20, 21, and 22): 



Eucalyptus amy&dalina (Labill. ). — In our 

 sheltered, springy forest glens, attaining not rarely a 

 height of over four hundred feet, there forming a 

 smooth stem and broad leaves, producing also seed- 

 lings of a foliage different to the ordinary state of 

 EuG. amygdalina, as occurs in more open country.

 for the keelson and planking of ships, and other pur- 

 poses. Labillardiere's name applies ill to any of the 

 forms of this species. Seedlings raised on rather 

 barren ground near Melbourne have shown the same 

 amazing rapidity of growth as those of the Eua. 

 globulus; yet, like those of Euc. obliqua, they are not 

 so easily satisfied with any soil.

 calypts the advantage of yielding, from its leaves a
