140017. EUCALYPTUS PREISSIANA. From Australia. Presented by F. H. Baker, Richmond, 

 Victoria. A shrubby eucalyptus about 8 feet high with rigid branchlets, shining- 

 green, oblong-elliptic leaves nearly 4 inches long, and small yellov/ish flcvers in 

 axillary clusters. Native to southern Australia. For trial in southern California, 

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



141852. EUCALYPTUS PROPINQUA. From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo Navarro de 

 Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A tree up to 120 feet high and 5 feet in diameter, 

 native to New South Wales, with lanceolate leaves 5 inches long. The timber is dur- 

 able either in or out of the ground. For trial in the milder parts of California, 

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



141853. EUCALYPTUS PUNCTATA. Leather-jacket. From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo 

 Navarro de Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A medium-sized tree, of spreading habit 

 especially when young, attaining in Australia, a height of about 100 feet. The bark 

 is rough and dark and tends to flake off. The thin leaves are lance-shaped or sickle- 

 shaped, the under-surface somewhat paler than the upper shiny one. The flowers are 

 above medium size, in clusters of 3 to 10. The species thrives at and near the coast, 

 but does not do well in the dry interior. The wood of this tree is tough, hard, close- 

 grained, and very durable. It is useful for fence posts, railway ties, and other 

 purposes. For trial on the California coast and in the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.) 



140018. EUCALYPTUS PYRIFORMIS. Red mallet. From Australia. Presented by F. H. 

 Baker, Richmond, Victoria. A shrub or small tree found in western and southern 

 Australia where it attains a height of 8 to 12 feet. The very thick narrow leaves 

 are rarely more than 3 inches long, and the large flowers are red when fresh. The 

 timber is hard, heavy and durable, and yellowish white. For trial in southern Cali- 

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



141854. EUCALYPTUS REDUNCA. Black marlock. From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo 

 Navarro de Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A shrub or small tree which should be 

 tested, with other eucalypts, in the milder parts of California, the Southwest, and 

 the Gulf region. (Chico> Calif.) 



141855. EUCALYPTUS REGNANS. From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo Navarro de An- 

 drade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. This is said to be the largest of the eucalypts in 

 Australia, heights of 300 to 400 feet being reported in Victoria. The trunks are 

 whitish and very straight, and the rather thin narrow leaves are' shining on both 

 sides. The wood is v/ell adapted for shingle.? and for general construction. For 

 trial in the mildest parts of southern California and southern Florida. (Chico,Calif . ) 



141856. EUCALYPTUS RESINIFERA. Kino eucalypt. Froiii Brazil. Presented by Dr. 

 Edmundo Navarro de Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A large tree with rough, reddish, 

 fibrous bark persistent to the small branches, and alternate lanceolate mature leaves 

 dark green above and paler beneath; the juvenile leaves are opposite for 3 or 4 pairs, 

 and narrow lanceolate. The flowers are 5 to 10 in axillary umbels, the buds conical 

 and the fruits 1/3 inch wide. The heavy timber is a rich red and is said to be strong 

 and durable; because of the color the tree is also called "red mahogany." Its lasting 

 qualities under ground have been questioned. For trial in the warmer coastal sections 

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