timid. However, if tue desert is not to be conquered, the cause of the Eucalyptus has gained greatly in 
o !icr respects. In Algeria, it is most favourably naturalised. It triumphantly borders the railways, of 
which it has seen the birth and marked the date. The garden inclosuro can no longer retain it ; it is planted 
by hundreds of thousands, in groves, in avenues, in groups, in isolated stalks, in every section of three 
provinces, and th- foreigner who does not know the exotic origin of the Eucalyptus would suppose it to be 
an indigenous tree. (Planclion.) 
CORDIEK, M. 
In 1862, M. M. A. Cordier, a distinguished colonist (Algerian) obtained directly from M. Ramcl one 
hundred seeds of the coveted tree. He sowed them, and obtained sixty-two plants, which in May, 1863, 
were'only about 5 inches in height. (Planclion.)

HARDY, . 
The Eucalyptus glfbubti was introduced into Algeria in 1854, as has been already said. In 1863, 
while walking \vjth Mr. Hardy in that part of the botanical garden which rises from the Sahel (the western 
portion of the Sahara), the writer (Planclion) picked up from the ground one of the buds of a tree, which 
he at once recognised and declared to be a bud of the Eucalyptus globulus. Mr. Hardy denied his positive 
assertion, a fact of no great importance, but proving that it is well for one to be posted in the true names 
of plants. This tree probably came from Paris, and, perhaps, from the same seed-plot as the cultivated 
stalks in the museum at that time. Mr. Hardy naturally destined his young subjects for general distribution 
in the colony; but the calculated slowness of the emancipation of this plant discouraged the impatient 
desires of the amateurs who were waiting for its culture. (Planclion.) 
See Hardy, p. 377, and under Pepper, p. 379. 
HUBER. 
The introduction of the Eucalyptus in Eastern Provence (France), goes back to about the year 1858. 
In 1860, the garden of the Huber brothers, at Hyeres, possessed a well characterised plant, which was 
almost a tree, with a pyramidal summit. (Planchon.) 
THURET, G. 
At the same time (1860), M. Gustave Thuret, of Antibes, had one specimen plant in his lawn which 
had survived two winters. In June, 1860, I sent M. Thuret seeds that produced subjects which, planted 
in the early spring of 18G1, and passing through a year of excessive dryness, were from 6 to 9 feet in height 
in 1862. When I saw them in November, 1863, I could not believe my eyes; they were veritable trees, 
with trunks, am pic foliage, and flowers. Now the entire region from Cannes to Monaco displays to travelleis 
the pale foliage and venerable trunks of the olive, and the vast forests of Italian pines, the aspiring branches 
of the Eucalyptus, w'ith their scythe-shaped leaves trembling beneath the slightest breeze, and supporting 
the repeated and violent winds of the cast, which are similar to the meestral, and the tyrant of these parts. 
(Planchon.) 

BOURLIER, M. C. (see Trabut, L. C.). 
In the spring of that year (18fi3), I sent M. Charles Bourlier twelve stalks of the Eucalyptus from 
Montpellier, which were distributed among careful amateurs, principally to M. Cordier, and attained such 
rapid development that the desire to possess this beautiful tree increased. From that moment, the 
Eucalyptus, at first by hundreds and then by thousands, took possession of Moorish ground : M. Cordier 
keeping the advantage in this steeplechase for the Eucalyptus by planting many acres in masses. (Planchon.)
