- 12 - 



inches long, and the flowers are borne in panicles or in axillary clusters. The wo.od 

 is pale, very hard and is said to cut almost like horn; it is available for ties, 

 fencing, and building purposes. The tree does not endure great heat and drought. 

 For trial in the mild coastal regions of California and in southern Florida. (Chico, 

 Calif.) 



124640. EUCALYPTUS PAUCIFLORA. From California. Presented by John McLaren, Super- 

 intendent, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. A high-mountain Australian tree, up to 

 100 feet high, v/ith spreading branches, slender, somewhat pendulous twigs, and thick 

 ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate leaves, 4 to 8 inches long. The outer bark is de- 

 ciduous and the inner bark smooth and pale gray. The species has withstood a minimum 

 temperature of 19° F. in southern California and may endure much lower. It is said 

 to grow well in swampy lowlands. For trial in southern California and the warmer 

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



141848. EUCALYPTUS PAUCIFLORA. From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo Navarro de 

 Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. Same description as for preceding (P. I. No. 124640). 

 (Chico, Calif.) 



141849. EUCALYPTUS PAULISTANA. From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo Navarro de 

 Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A hybrid between Euca lup tus globulus and E. robusta, 

 the detailed characters of which are not known. It should be tested with other 

 eucalypts in the milder parts of California and the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.) 



141850. EUCALYPTUS PILULARIS. Blackbutt . From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo 

 Navarro de Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A slender tree reported to average 100 to 

 150 feet high, with a diameter of 3 to 5 feet, rarely much larger. The bark of the 

 lower part of the trunk is dark gray, rough, and partially persistent, but higher up 

 it flakes off in patches; that of the branches is smooth and light colored. The 

 leaves are scattered, nearly lance-shaped, and about the same color on each side, and 

 the flowers are of medium size. The seed cases are nearly spherical, or the shape of 

 the broad part of an egg. It is considered one of the best all-around timbers and is 

 reported to be especially valuable for fence posts and telegraph poles. The honey 

 from the flowers is reported to be of especially good quality. In California the 



tree grows well near the coast but does not thrive in the dry hot interior valleys; 

 it endures neither very high nor very lo'if temperatures. For trial on the southern 

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



141851. EUCALYPTUS POLYANTHEMOS. From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo Navarro de 

 Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A slow-growing tree, commonly of medium size but re- 

 ported occasionally to reach a height of 250 feet in Australia. It is of spreading 

 habit and often forms several stems from the same base: the grayish bark is furrowed 

 and persistent and the wood hard, strong and durable. The leaves are roundish or 

 broadly egg-shaped and of a dull-green hue on both sides. \Vith its characteristic 

 foliage and profusion of small flowers the tree presented a very pleasing appearance. 

 It is reported to thrive in California under a wide range of climatic conditions, 

 both as to temperature and humidity, and to endure minimum temperatures between 15° 

 and 20° F. For trial in the milder parts of California, the Southwest, and the Gulf 

 region. (Chico, Calif.)
