 smooth dark-gray bark, narrowly lanceolate leaves 6 inches or more long, stalked um- 

 bels of small flowers attractive to bees, and globular fruits with conical tops. The 

 heavy red wood is durable both above and below ground and is used for railroad ties, 

 piles, and fence posts. At Chico, California, trees of this species 22 to 28 feet 

 high, suffered only slight injury in a minimum temperature of 12° F, For trial in 

 the Gulf States and California. (Chico, Calif.)

 Sao Paulo, and presented by Dr. Edmundo Navarro de Andrade. A large tree, native to 

 Australia, with dark-gray, furrowed, fibrous bark, and thick shining sword-shaped 

 leaves 3 to 6 inches long. The small sessile white flowers are in axillary clusters 

 of 5 to 10. and the depressed-globose fruits are nearly ^ inch in diameter. For 

 trial in southern California and the warmer parts of the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif. 



141826. EUCALYPTUS CITRIODORA. Lemon-scented gum. From Brazil. Presented by Dr. 

 Edmundo Navarro de Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A handsome fast-growing Australian 

 tree which, in favorable situations, becomes 60 to 100 feet high. The long narrow 

 leaves, equally shiny on both sides, possess a pleasant odor closely resembling that 

 of the lemon. The wood is of a grayish, brownish, or yellowish tint and is valued 

 for its strength, elasticity, and beauty. This eucalypt thrives in California in the 

 nearly frostless coast regions but is not suited to the dry interior valleys. It may 

 also be tried in the warmest localities in southern Florida. (Chico, Calif.) 



141827. EUCALYPTUS CORYKEOSA. Bloodwood, From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo 

 Navarro de Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A tree up to 100 feet high and 3 feet in 

 diameter, native to Australia, with bark rough on the trunk and smooth on the upper 

 branches, and leathery lanceolate leaves. The fragrant yellowish-white flowers, in 

 large corymbs and containing much nectar, are followed by large urn-shaped seed cases. 

 The adult form of leaf is developed at a very early age in the seedlings. The wood 

 is highly durable underground and is therefore especially useful for posts, paving 

 blocks, and similar purposes. For trial on the California coast and in southern 

 Florida. (Chico, Calif.)

 lets are slender and drooping, the leaves are thin and narrow and equally green on 

 the two surfaces. The very small flowers, in clusters of 3 to 7, are usually in 

 panicles, and the seed cases are very small. This tree is adapted to a variety of 

 climatic conditions and endures minimum teaiperatures of 18° to 20° F. It is said to 

 be content with poor soil. On account of its tough and elastic character and its 

 durability under ground, the timber is useful for a great variety of purposes. It is 

 one of the highly valued timber trees of Australia. For trial in the milder parts of 

 California and the Southwest and in the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.)
