PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED 



90649 to 90676 — Continued. 



90675. Viburnum sargenti Koehne. Ca- 

 prifoliaceae. Sargent cranberrybusn. 



No. 6499. An upright compact hardy 

 shrub, up to 15 feet high, generally 

 similar to the American cranberrybusn 

 {Viburnum americanum) , but with thick- 

 er leaves, hairy beneath, and larger 

 sterile flowers, sometimes over an inch 

 across. The red globose berries are in 

 upright cymes. 



For previous introduction see 69894. 



90676. Zanthoxylum schinifolium Sieb. 

 and Zucc. Rutaceae. 



No. 6502. A graceful Japanese shrub 

 or small tree with attractive compound 

 leaves and rather conspicuous clusters 

 of greenish or brownish fruits in the 

 autumn. 



For previous introduction see 81568. 



90677 to 90719. 



From New South Wales, Australia. Seeds 

 presented by G. P. Darnell-Smith, Direc- 

 tor, Botanic Gardens, Sydney. Received 

 December 18, 1930. 

 A collection of native Australian trees 



and shrubs. 



90677. Acacia crassiuscula Wendl. (A. 

 adunca A. Cunn.). Mimosaceae. 



A shrub several feet high with acutely 

 angled branchlets, thick linear falcate 

 1-nerved phyllodes 2 inches long, and 

 short racemes made up of small dense 

 globular heads of 20 or more flowers. 

 It is also native to Tasmania. 



90678. Acacia salicina Lindl. (A. ligu- 

 lata A. Cunn.). Mimosaceae. 



A tall shrub or small tree with pendu- 

 lous branches and willowlike phyllodes 

 up to 5 inches long. The yellow flowers 

 are in short racemes of two or three 

 globular heads. 



For previous introduction see 80064. 



90679 to 90683. Casuarina spp. Casuari- 



naceae. 



90679. Casuarina cunninghamiana 

 Miquel. Cunningham beefwood. 



A slender-branched leafless ornamen- 

 tal tree, the so-called beefwood, which 

 has branchlets suggesting horsetails. 



For previous introduction see 73838. 



90680. Casuarina distyla Vent. (O. 

 paludosa Sieber). 



Unlike many of the better-known 

 casuarinas, this species is usually a 

 small shrub 2 to 3 feet high. 



For previous introduction see 67808. 



90381. Casuarina glauca Sieber. 



Beefwood. 



A tree 60 to 70 feet high, usually 

 straight and of rapid growth. The 

 timber is red, beautifully marked, hard 

 and tough, and is used for cabinet- 

 work, staves, and fuel. In periods of 

 drought, the foliage is used for feed- 

 ing the stock. When the trees are cut 

 down, the young growth shoots up 

 quickly from the stump. This variety 

 grows in the marshy coastal districts 

 and frequently in land submerged 

 with tidal water. It makes a very 

 handsome shade tree.

90677 to 90719— Continued. 



90682. Casuarina stricta Ait. 



This tree, commonly cultivated in 

 California but more rare in Florida, is 

 a fairly hardy species making a low, 

 often shrubby growth. It is con- 

 spicuous on account of its very thick, 

 often pendulous branchlets and very 

 big cones. In appearance it is not so 

 elegant as some of the other casuari- 

 nas, but it is very striking and is also 

 of some economic value. The branch- 

 lets are said to be a favorite forage 

 for Australian cattle, and the wood is 

 especially valuable for shingles and 

 posts. 



For previous introduction see 67809. 



90683. Casuarina suberosa Otto and 

 Dietr. 



A species with very large fruits over 

 1 inch long, and long coarse pendent 

 branchlets ; very distinct from Casua- 

 rina eguisetifolia. This is one of the 

 hardier species, for it will stand a tem- 

 perature of 26° F. 



For previous introduction see 62663. 



90684 to 90707. Eucalyptus spp. Myrta- 

 ceae. 



90684. Eucalyptus agglomerata 

 Maiden. 



A tree 50 to 80 feet high and 4 to 6 

 feet in diameter, with thick steel-gray 

 lanceolate leaves 4 to 6 inches long and 

 heads of 10 to 14 flowers followed by 

 reddish-brown fruits a quarter of an 

 inch in diameter. 



90685. Eucalyptus aggregata Deane 

 and Maiden. 



A small tree with flaky bark and 

 smooth branchlets, semipendulous lance- 

 olate undulate leaves 4 to 5 inches 

 long, and four to six flowered umbels 

 clustered in dense heads. The hemi- 

 spherical fruits are a quarter of an 

 inch in diameter. 



90686. Eucalyptus hemiphloia albens 

 (Miquel) F. Muell. 



A tree up to 80 feet high, with dull- 

 green persistent bark, broadly ovate- 

 lanceolate mealy white leaves 6 inches 

 long, clusters of four to eight rather 

 large flowers, and obovoid-oblong fruits 

 nearly half an inch long. 



90687. Eucalyptus baueriana Schauer. 



A small tree up to 50 feet high, with 

 ash-gray persistent rough-furrowed 

 bark, broadly ovate to lanceolate long- 

 petioled leaves 3 inches long, and um- 

 bels of three to six small flowers fol- 

 lowed by top-shaped fruits less than a 

 quarter of an inch in diameter. 



90688. Eucalyptus baxteri (Benth.) 

 Maiden and Blakely. 



A large tree with very thick ovate 

 leaves less than 3 inches long, sessile 

 flowers in dense heads, and globular 

 fruits half an inch in diameter. 



90689. Eucalyptus beyeri R. T. Baker. 



A tall tree with thin narrowly linear 

 leaves, flowers in clusters of three to 

 six, and pear-shaped fruits a quarter of 

 an inch long.
