75625. Eucalyptus goxiocalyx F. Muell. 



A rough-barked tree which attains a good 

 size, in some situations in Australia reaching 

 a height of 300 feet and a diameter of 6 to 10 

 feet. The leaves of the adult tree are long 

 and quite slender, the two sides being simi- 

 larly colored, and the flowers, nearly stem- 

 less, are borne in small clusters on flattened 

 stalks. This species grows well in the coast 

 regions of California, but, so far as known, 

 it has not been tested in the dry, hot valleys 

 of the interior, or other similar situations. 

 In Australia it is found at altitudes of 4,000 

 feet and is therefore a promising species on 

 the mountains of the southwestern United 

 States. The hard tough wood is used for 

 general building purposes, and because of its 

 durability in the ground it is useful for rail- 

 road ties, posts, and other underground 

 situations.
