104373. ESCALLONIA RUBRA.* From Scotland. Presented by the Royal Botanic Garden, 

 Edinburgh. A prostrate evergreen shrub with foliage similar to that of Escallonia 

 macrantha . and large rose-red flowers. Native to Chile. For trial in the Gulf 

 region and on the Pacific coast. (Glenn Dale, Md.) 



95516. EUCALYPTUS ALGERIENSIS . * From Algeria. Presented by Dr. R. Maire. University 

 of Algiers. A hybrid between Eucalyptu s ros trata and E^ rudig , which has become 

 naturalized in North Africa and now covers considerable areas of the hills around 

 Algiers. It differs from E^. rudis by its smooth trunk, its small flowers with the 

 hemispherical operculum not beaked, and from E^ r ostrata . by its buds which are white 

 like those of E. rudis. In California it flowers in October, between the flowering 

 periods of the parents. The tree is a rapid grower, endures several degrees of 

 frost, and is reported to be one of the best eucalypts for localities in which the 

 winters are dry and mild. For trial in the southern parts of California and Arizona 

 and in the warmer and drier parts of the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.) 



106335. EUCALYPTUS DIVERSICOLOR. Karri gum. From Australia. Obtained from F. H. 

 Baker, Richmond. A J,all tree, up to 350 feet in height, native to western Australia. 

 It is straight in habit and fairly rapid grower. The very dense and elastic wood is 

 considered superior timber, being used by wheelwrights and for shipbuilding. In 

 Florida the tree is said to do best near the coast, in noncalcareous soils. It is 

 somewhat frost resistant, but it does not endure dry heat. For trial near the coast 

 in southern California and in the milder parts of central and southern Florida. 

 (Chico, Calif.) 



104167 and 106339. EUCALYPTUS LEHMANNI . * Lehmann gum. Received from F. H. Baker. 

 Richmond, Australia. A drought-resistant large shrub or small tree with rough reddish 

 bark peeling off in irregular sheets. The greenish-yellow flowers open from July to 

 September. Native to Western Australia. For trial in the milder parts of the 

 southwest and in southern Florida. (Chico, Calif.) 



106341. EUCALYPTUS MICROCORYS. Tallow-wood. From Australia. Obtained from F. H. 

 Baker, Richmond. A tall tree v/ith persistent furrowed fibrous bark and usually 

 ovate-lanceolate acuminate leaves 3 to 4 inches long. The fruits are obovoid-oblong 

 and scarcely one-sixth inch in diameter. The young trees are rapid growers but they 

 do not thrive under dry conditions. For trial in the moister localities of southern 

 California and in southern Florida. (Chico, Calif.) 



104168. EUCALYPTUS TORQUATA. From Australia. Presented by F. H. Baker, Rich- 

 mond. A tree v/ith lanceolate, oblique, leathery, dull gray-green leaves 4 inches 

 long, and reddish-orange flowers in umbels of seven on a stalk 1 inch long. Native 

 to Western Australia. For trial in southern California. (Supply very limited.) 

 (Chico, Calif.) 



103776. EUONYMUS JAPONICUS. From Japan. Collected by P. H. Dorsett and W. J. Morse, 

 agricultural explorers. Bureau of Plant Industry, in Heibya Park, Tokyo. This form 

 is a tree 20 feet high, the fruits of which are said to be 1- to 2-seeded, reddish 

 in color, and borne on rather stiff stems that stand up among the leaves. For trial 

 from Washington, D. C, and Tennessee southward and on the Pacific coast. (Glenn 

 Dale, Md.)
