 Victoria. A small tree 25 feet or less high, glaucous throughout, with small, thick, 

 ovate to lanceolate leaves over an inch long. Native to Western Australia. For 

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



140015. EUCALYPTUS EREMOPHILA. From Australia. Presented by F. H. Baker, Richmond, 

 Victoria. A spreading shrub or medium-sized tree with smooth scaly bark, shiny 

 leathery lanceolate leaves about 3 inches long, and few-flowered umbels of small 

 yellow flowers. Native to Western Australia. For trial in southern California and 

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



140016. EUCALYPTUS ERYTKROCORYS . From Australia. Presented by F. H. Baker, Rich- 

 mond, Victoria. This species is usually a shrub 8 to 10 feet high but sometimes a 

 tree up to 30 feet, with broadly linear rigid leaves 6 inches long. The large flowers, 

 in axillary clusters, have long yellow stamens, and in the bud stage they are covered 

 with bright-red fleshy caps. The ribbed, hemispherical fruits are 1 to 2 inches long. 

 The tree is native to Western Australia. At Chico, Calif., young trees 7 feet high 

 were killed at a minimum temperature of 12° F. For trial in southern California and 

 the warmest parts of the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.) 



14182S. EUCALYPTUS EUGENIOIDES. White stringy-bark. From Brazil. Presented by 

 Dr. Edmundo Navarro de Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A tree growing 150 to 200 feet 

 high in Australia, with thick, smooth, ovate to lanceolate leaves less than 3 inches 

 long. The flowers are borne in umbels which are gathered into axillary or terminal 

 panicles and are followed by ovoid-truncate fruits. The rough stringy bark is per- 

 sistent, and the timber, which is strong and durable, splits readily and is not 

 liable to warp. For trial near the coast in California and in the Gulf region.

 Edmundo Navarro de Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A large tree, native to New South 

 Wales, with scaly bark, falcate-lanceolate leaves, and urn-shaped fruits. The wood 

 is soft and used only for fuel. It is a stately tree and very beautiful when in full

 drade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A medium-sized tree with rough fissured ash-brown bark, 

 sword-shaped leaves 3 to 6 inches long, axillary clusters of 3 to 8 flowers on long 

 pedicels, and nearly globular fruits one-third of an inch in diameter. At Chico, 

 California, trees of this species, 26 feet high, were severely injured at a minimum 

 temperature of 12° F. For trial in the warmest parts of the Southwest and of the 

 Gulf coast. (Chico, Calif.) 



141745. EUCALYPTUS FICIFOLIA. From Melbourne, Australia. Presented by Russell 

 Grimwade through the Australian Legation, Washington, D. C. A small to medium-sized 

 tree, native to Western Australia, with gray-green leaves having red midribs, and 

 branched heads of brilliant-scarlet flowers. When the flowers are fully open, the 

 green interior of the receptacle from which they arise is seen, and this adds to the 

 bep.uty of the flowers. The trees are said not to flower until. 5 or 6 years old.
