Eucalyptus calophylla, R. Br. Medium-sized umbrageous tree, with dense foliage: bark dark, corky, deeply furrowed: lvs. ovate-lanceolate, firm and thick; veins nearly parallel and very spreading: fls. large, white or cream-color, rarely pink, in large clusters; lid thin, nearly flat: fr. 1—1½ in. wide, ovate-urnshaped, very thick and woody; seeds large, black, the edges acute but scarcely winged. July-Oct. B.M. 4036 (as E. splachnicarpa). F. v. M. Eucal. 10:2. G.C. III. 20:661.—Ornamental tree of rather slow growth, not enduring frost or dry atmosphere. Good shade tree for avenues in the coast districts. The fall bloom is valuable for bees. Bark rich in kino. The wood is tough, useful for wheelwrights' work and for building, but not durable underground. The frs. of this and the next have been polished and used for pipe-bowls.
