‘143771. EUCALYPTUS PANICULATA.* From Australia. Presented by the Department 
of Agriculture, Brisbane. A tall or medium-sized Australian tree with deeply 
furrowed gray—brown bark. The lanceolate-acuminate leaves are 3 to 5 inches 
long, and.the flowers are borne in panicles or in axillary clusters. The wood 
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 
Fiorida. (Chico, Calif.) 
141848. EUCALYPTUS PAUCIFLORA. From Brazil.. Presented by Dr. Edmundo Navarro 
de Andrade, Rio Clara, Sao Paulo. A high-mountain Australian tree, up to 100 
feet high, with spreading branches, slender, somewhat pendulous twigs, and thick 
ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate leaves, 4 to 8 inches long. The outer bark is 
deciduous 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 
lowere It is said to grow well in swampy lowlands. For trial in southern 
California and the warmer parts of the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.) 
143772. HUCALYPIUS PILULARIS.* Blackbutt. From Australia. Presented by the 
Department of Agriculture, Brisbane. 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. Tne 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 low temperatures. For trial on the southern California coast and 
in southern Florida. (Chico, Calif.) 
143774, HUCALYPTUS RESINIFERA. From Australia. Presented by the Department 
of Agriculture, Brisbane. 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.
