SPECIES OF EUCALYPTS NOW GROWING IN FLORIDA.

The southern limit, so far as ascertained, was Cocoanut Grove, 

 Dade County, on the east coast, and Naples, Lee County, on the west 

 coast, though eucalypts could doubtless be grown to the southern ex- 

 tremity of the State. There are many good specimens along the 

 Gulf shore as far north as Tarpon Springs, as well as in the interior 

 lake region at Avon Park, Seven Oaks, and elsewhere.

 Forest Service, to whom fresh specimens were sent direct from the field. 



EUCALYPTUS CITRIODORA HOOKER ( LEMON GUM). 



Eucalyptus citriodora has been planted in a number of places, both 

 on the east and west coasts of Florida — at Eustis, Indianola, Merritts 

 Island, Miami, Avon Park, and St. Petersburg. It is not free from 

 frost injury except south of Palm Beach on the east coast and Fort 

 Myers on the Gulf coast. At Eustis and Avon Park all the trees 

 of this species were killed back to the ground by the freeze of 1895. 

 The trees that grew up since sprouted from the stumps of the trees 

 killed back at that time. At St. Petersburg, where the largest speci- 

 men has been found, it had at one time been slightly frozen back by 

 a temperature of 20°. A temperature of 23° F., following a warm 

 spell, proved to be injurious to lemon gum.
