lance-shaped to sickle-shaped, shiny, and equally green on both surfaces; they have 

 an Oder somewhat resembling apples when crushed. The flowers are of medium size and 

 the seed cases rather small. The tree thrives near the coast of California but not 

 in the hot interior valleys. It is reported to withstand temperatures below 18° F. 

 For trial in the coastal region of California and in the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.) 



141861. EUCALYPTUS TERETICORNIS . Slaty gum. From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo 

 Navarro de Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A tall tree with a thick trunk and smooth 

 irregularly blotched bark. The juvenile leaves, 2| to 8 inches long, are paired only 

 near base of twigs and are elliptical to broadly lanceolate; the mature leaves are 

 alternate, 5 to 10 inches long, narrow-lanceolate, and usually glossy green on both 

 sides. The umbels are axillary and the broad fruits are ^ to 3/8 inch long. The 

 hard, heavy, and durable red timber is valuable for many purposes. The tree is stated 

 to thrive under both coastal and inland conditions in southern California. For trial 

 in southern California and t^e Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.) 



140019. EUCALYPTUS TETRAGONA. From Australia. Presented by F. H. Baker, Richmond, 

 Victoria. A low scrubby shrub or small tree with silvery thick rigid broadly ovate 

 to lanceolate-falcate leaves up to 4 inches long. The axillary umbels consist of 

 usually 3, seldom 4 or 5, white flowers, and the fruits are rather large, truncate- 

 ovate, sometimes approaching a globular form. Native to Western Australia. For trial 

 in southern California and the warmest parts of the Southwest and the Gulf region.

140020. EUCALYPTUS TETRAPTERA. From Australia. Obtained from F. H. Baker, Richmond, 

 Victoria. A shrub or small tree up to 10 feet high, native to western Australia, 

 often with sharply 4-angled branches and with very thick and rigid narrow leaves usual- 

 ly under S inches but occasionally 10 inches in length. The tree is very ornamental 

 because of the foliage and because of the fact that just before the lid falls off 

 the fruit the calyx tube and the stalk beccrae a brilliant crimson. For trial in 

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

 Victoria. A tree with lanceolate, oblique, leathery dull gray-green leaves 4 inches 

 long, and reddish orange flowers in umbels of seven on a stalk 1 inch long. Native to 

 Western Australia. For trial in southern California, the warmest parts of the South- 

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



141862. EUCALYPTUS TRABUTI . From Brazil. Presented by Dr. Edmundo Navarro de 

 Andrade, Rio Claro, Sao Paulo. A vigorous and moderately large tree, considered to 

 be a hybrid, originating in Algeria, between Eucaly ptus b otryoide s and E. rostrata . 

 It has somewhat fibrous bark, oval-lanceolate juvenile leaves, and alternate, dull- 

 green, lanceolate to falcate-lanceolate mature leaves 6 to 9 inches long. The umbels 

 are 7-12 flowered, and the hemispherical fruit is about ^ by 3/8 inch. The wood is 

 red and durable. For trial in mild localities in California and the Southwest and in 

 the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.) 



141863. EUCALYPTUS UMBRA. Bastard v/hite-mahogany . From Brazil. Presented by Dr. 

 Edmundo Navarro de Andrade, Bio Claro, Sao Paulo. A small to moderately large tree 

 with thick, coarse, fibrous, persistent bark and alternate thick, shining, lanceolate 

 to falcate-lanceolate mature leaves; the juvenile leaves are sessile, the lower ones 

 opposite. The umbels are axillary and terminal and the fruits hemispheric, about ^ 

 inch across. The timber is inferior. In Australia this is a tree of poor saline
