141832. EUCALYPTUS RESINIFERA VAR. GRANDIFLORA . From Brazil. Presented by Dr. 

 Edmundo Navarro de Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. Same description as for the pre- 

 ceding, except that this variety is said to differ from the type in having consider- 

 ably larger flowers, buds ovoid as contrasted with the conical ones of the type, and 

 larger fruits — up to i inch wide. (Chico, Calif.) 



132797. EUCALYPTUS RUBIDA. Candlebark gum. From Australia. Obtained from Per- 

 cy Murphy, "Grandview," Woy Woy, New South Wales. An alpine or subalpine tree, 

 30 to 60 feet high, with smooth bark falling off in strips, found at altitudes of 

 1,000 to 5,000 feet in the cooler parts of Australia and in Tasmania. The narrow- 

 lanceolate thickish leaves are equally dull green above and below, and there are 

 three white flowers in solitary umbels. For trial in the milder parts of Cali-

141858. EUCALYPTUS RUDIS. Desert gum. From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo Na- 

 varro de Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A rapid-growing tree attaining a height of 

 50 to 75 feet. The grayish bark of the trunk is usually rough and persistent but 

 sometimes flakes off. The leaves of the young trees are oblong, to roundish, while 

 those of older trees are lance-shaped or falcate; the flowers are of medium size. In 

 Australia the tree grows naturally near streams, while in our Southwest, when supplied 

 with water, it has thrived near the coast, on dry mesas, and in the hot valleys of 

 the interior; it has endured minimum temperatures of 15° to 18° F. and maximum tem- 

 peratures of 110° to 118° F. The timber is said to be rather inferior. For trial in 

 southern California and the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.)

 peppermint and are rich in oil. The wood is useful for many purposes but is not 

 strong. The tree is said to endure considerable frost. For trial in southern Cali- 

 fornia and southern Florida. (Chico, Calif.)

 Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A beautiful straight tree 100 feet or more high, 

 with smooth silvery gray bark, native to New South Wales. The narrowly lanceolate 

 mature leaves are 4 to 6 inches long, and the clusters of four to eight flowers are 

 on short peduncles. The wood is pale red, hard, and durable and is easily worked. 

 The tree prefers heavy but well-drained soils. For trial in mild situations on the 

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



141860. EUCALYPTUS STUARTIANA. Apple-gum. From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo 

 Navarro de Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. An erect medium-large species, of somewhat 

 stocky appearance but of fairly rapid growth. The old bark is rough and fibrous, 

 grayish-brown outside and salmon colored next to the wood. The leaves of seedlings 

 and suckers are opposite and roundish or lance-shaped, while the mature leaves are
