by the Department of Agriculture, Brisbane. A tall Australian tree up to 200 
feet high, with smooth dark-gray bark, narrowly lanceolate leaves 6 inches or 
more long, stalked umbels of small flowers attractive to bees, and globular 
fruits with conical tops. The heavy red wood is durable both above and below 
ground and is used for railroad ties, piles, and fence posts. At Chico, 
California, trees of this species 22 to 28 feet high, suffered only slight in- 
jury in a minimum temperature of 129 F. For trial in the Gulf States and 
California. (Chico, Calif.) 
143766. EUCALYPTUS CITRIODORA.*:.From Australia. Presented by the Department 
of Agriculture, Brisbane. A handsome fast-growing Australian tree which, in 
favorable situations, becomes 60 to 100 feet high. The long narrow leaves, 
equally shiny on both sides, possess a pleasant odor closely resembling that 
of the lemon. The wood is of a grayish,. brownish, or yellowish tint and is 
valued for its strength, elasticity, and beauty. This eucalypt thrives in 
California in the nearly frostless coast regions but is not suited to the dry 
interior valleys. It may also: be tried in the warmest localities in ‘southern 
Florida. (Chico, Calif.)
