Dr. K. Bonavia stated that E. globulus grew well at Lucknow until torrential 
r.'in- (,iiue one monsoon and the trees got too wet at the roots and perished. He 
sounds a warning in regard to the employment of this tree for draining marshy land. 
The only species he succeeded with was K. maculata var. citriodora. (See Gard. 
Chron., 1885, p. 762; Pharm. Journ. (3), xv, 1069; and Gard. Citron., 18th March, 
1899, p. 163.) 
The only place in India where he saw E. globulus thrive is on the Nilgherry Hills 
at Ootacamund. 
The chief Nilsjhiri plantations, which may now be called forests, as most of them are in their second 
term of rotation, are those of Norwood, Aramby, Bathri, Rallia, and Coonoor Peak (there are many others, 
and many private forests), and these were described fully in Mr. D. E. Hutchins' work already referred to. 
Mr. Hutchins found that the average rate of growth in quantity of material was 12 tons per acre per annum. 
The present Working Plans are all, or nearly all, for coppice under standard, and the rotation for coppice 
has been settled at ten years. The reproduction has been very good; and to anyone not accustomed 
to the tree and its power of growth, the first view of such a forest as that of Bathri or Coonoor Peak seems 
little short of marvellous. (Gamble, p. 353.) 
E. globulus oil is manufactured in Madras at Ootacamund, Lovedale, and Coonoor. 
(Hooper in Chem. and Drugg., Ixx, 208, 1907.) 
E. leucoxylon F.v.M. This species has succeeded admirably at Abbotabad, 
Punjab, India (Gamble). Indian foresters should enquire if there has been the common 
confusion with the Ironbark (E. sideroxylon A. Cunn.) in this case. 
E. micu^ata Hook. var. citriodora F.v.M. It has taken very'kindly to Bengal, 
and being sweeter than Aloysia citriodora, Sweet-scented Verbena, besides growing to 
a good size, ought to make it a very popular plant, and one that no house should be 
without. See Kew Report for 1882, p. 20. 
E. marginata Sm. Cultivated on the Nilgiris, but does not do well. (Gamble, 
p. 353.) 
E. melanophloia F.v.M. For its growth in India see Kew Report, 1878, p. 36. 
E. obliqua L'Her. Cultivated in the Nilgiris, especially in Aramby, Rallia, and 
Coonoor Peak plantations. (Gamble, p. 354.) 
E. rostrata Schlecht Major McRae reports concerning Sind, " Most of the 
plants of E. ornuta, E. rostrata, and E. la ifolia are doing so well that I feel certain 
they could be grown for road-side trees and may pay the cost of cultivation on a large 
scale for timber." See also Kew Reports (for Assam), for 1879, p. 16 ; (for India) 1879, 
p. 23; 1879, p. 16; 1881, p. 12. 
E. tcreticornis Sni. Cultivated in various places on the Indian plains. (Gamble, 
p. 354.)
