WRITERS UPON EUCALYPTS. 23 
of the botanical portion and many of the illustrations were contributed 
by the writer of this work. 
Mr. J. Burtt Davy, of the University of California, contributes the 
article upon ‘‘Kucalyptus” in Volume II of Prof. L. H. Bailey’s 
Cyclopedia of American Horticulture. The article contains brief 
botanical descriptions of 52 species, summarized from Baron von 
Mueller’s Eucalyptographia, and ‘‘ verified by reference to herbarium 
specimens wherever these were available.” Some statements in this 
article concerning the propagation of Eucalypts do not agree with 
experience here in the Southwest, where the growing of seedlings is 
not a simple matter.
