A GARDEN FLORA 
EUCALYPTUS. Gum Tree. Myrtaceae. 
E. coccifera. Tasmania. 
Height 20 feet. Grown for some years in the 
Arboretum, and has so far proved hardy. The tree 
was raised from seed in 1905. 
E. cordata. Tasmania. 
|E. ficifolia. W. Australia. 
E. Gunnii. Cider Tree. S. Australia and Tasmania. 
Several trees raised from seed at the same time 
as E. coccifera, now measure 39 feet in height. 
They are, unfortunately, tall and weedy, and are 
easily blown over by gales. Planted in the Ar- 
boretum. 
EUCOM1S. Liliacese. 
E. bicolor. Natal. 
E. punctata. S. Africa. 
EUCOMMIA. Trochodendracese. 
E. ulmoides. China. 
Height 12 feet, spread of branches 11 feet. A 
thriving tree, which has proved quite hardy. Top 
Garden. 
EUCRYPKLA. Rosacese. 
E. cordifolia. Islands of Chiloe and Valdivia. 
Height 18 feet, depth 8£ feet. Mr. Bean par- 
ticularly mentions the Nymans specimen in his 
Trees and Shrubs hardy in the British Isles. In its 
earlier stages frost often damaged the tips of the 
branches. Now it remains unprotected in winter, 
save for the shelter of the Wall Garden, in which 
it stands. The tree did not flower before it was 
10 feet high, but since then has been a mass of 
blossom each August. Experience shows that the 
seed, though remaining on the branches, does not 
mature until fifteen months after its formation. 
Severe frost might damage the fruit, but we have 
raised several seedlings. 
E. pinnatifolia. Chile. 
Height 13 feet, diameter 11 feet. There are two 
shrubs of this beautiful Eucryphia in the garden,
