141862. X Eucalyptus trabuti Vilm. 



A remarkable hybrid between Eucalyptus botryoides Sm. and E. rostrata Schlecht., 

 discovered by L. Trabut. The characters of the leaves are intermediate; the cap- 

 sules could not well be more nearly intermediate. The great value of this hybrid 

 is in its unusually rapid growth.

141863. Eucalyptus umbra R. T. Baker. 



A small to moderately large tree, with thick, coarse, fibrous, persistent bark and 

 alternate thick, shining, lanceolate to falcate-lanceolate mature leaves. The timber 

 is inferior. In Australia this tree grows on poor saline flats and ridges in proximity 

 to salt water. 



141864. Eucalyptus viminalis Labill. Manna gum. 



A graceful Australian tree up to 300 feet high, with rough bark from which exudes 

 the bonelike substance that gives the tree its name of manna gum. The leaves are 

 lanceolate and falcate; the white flowers are in threes and are attractive to bees; 

 and the fruits are flattened globose with sharp-pointed tops. The wood is used 

 only for rough building purposes.
