Also " Australian and New Zealand Trees in Arran."- Trans. Rot. Soc. Edin., 
xvii, 21. Arran (oil western coast of Scotland) has a comparatively equable climate. 
Notes on the cultivation of the following Eucalypts are given : E. alpina, E. globulus, 
E. Gunnii (see E. urnigera, J.H.M.), E. coccifcra, E. ficifolia, E. amygdalina (see 
viminalis, J.H.M.), E. viminalis, E. polyanthema, E. cordata var. urnigera, E. pauciflora.

D. Christison quotes Rev. D. Landsborough as having grown the following species in 
the Isle of Arran, with tlie results stated : E. alpina, E. globulus, E. coriacea (pauciflora), 
E. viminalis, E. urnigera. Particulars are also given of the Whittinghame Eucalypt, 
a species raised from seed about 1845.

Gardeners' Chronicle At Loch Hourn, Inverness-shire, opposite the Isle of 
Skye, E. vernicosa, the hardiest, but a mere shrub. " E. cocci}era, E. Gunnii, and 
E. urnigera are nearly as hardy. E. alpina, E. augustifolia (sic.), E. cordata and 
E. viminalis come next, but E. amygdalina, E. coriacea, E. regnans, E. rudis, and 
E. resinijera seem not much more hardy than E. globulus, which is killed at Loch Hourn 
by 15 degrees or 20 degrees of frost," (Gardeners' Chronicle, llth Feb., 1899, p. 84.) 
The severe winter of 1894-5 practically exterminated Eucalyptus from the Island 
of Jersey. Many of the trees had attained to a very large size, and seemed to be 
thoroughly acclimatised in the island, where the average temperature is considerably 
higher, and the extremes of heat and cold considerably less than in England, (llth 
March, 1899, p. 145.) 
The following are the species recorded as cultivated in the open-air in British 
gardens :^-E. coccifera, cordata, globulus, Gunnii, leucoxylon, urnigera, viminalis, 
vernicosa, calophylla, alpina, amygdalina, resinifera, coriacea, polyanthema, Staigeriana, 
submultiplinervis-paucijlora, stellulata. For the hybrids, see Revue Horticok, 1903, p. 
325. See also Gardeners' Chronicle, 7thMay, 1881 ; 2nd February, 1884 ; 26th November, 
1886; 30th June, 1888. (Gardeners' Chronicle, 1st July, 1905, p. 13.) 
The following particulars concerning Eucalypts in Ireland, were given to me 
by Sir Frederick Moore, Director of the Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin, under 
date 4th March, 1918 : 
In accordance with my promise I have had notes made in different districts of the special Eucalyptus 
which are hardy in Ireland. I got Mr. Walpole's in county Wicklow, a favoured locality, Sir John Ross, 
of Bladensburg, llostrevor House, county Down, a particularly favoured locality, and the gardens here at 
Glasucvin, a typically cold and exposed locality, but not so bad as parts of the midlands where no Eucalyptus 
is really hardy. As a guide I may inform you that here we had last year the severest winter since 1879 ; the 
frost lasted until April. We had repeated snow, and we had over 20 degrees Fahr. of frost. The frost also 
lasted for a fortnight at a spell, so the plants were highly tried. Perhaps it may also be of further assistance 
to you if I state that I do not consider Eucalyj)tuii glubidus as a hardy species in Ireland. It will live in 
favoured localities; in others for five years, about its limit. Those that I consider to be absolutely hardy 
are those that have lived out at Glasnevin, all of which have also lived out in any districts of Ireland where 
this genus will grow. The list gives the species which may absolutely be rclic.l on. I consider others are 
all doubtful. Where I could ascertain them, I give you the dimensions of the specimens. My plants are
