Eucalyptus globulus, Labill. Blue-gum. Figs. 1425-1427. Tree, 300 ft. or less high: bark deciduous in long thin strips or sheets, leaving the trunk smooth and grayish or bluish white except at base: lvs. lanceolate, thick, often ½-1 ft. long; those on young shoots and seedlings opposite, sessile, broad, and white-mealy: fls. solitary or 2 or 3 together, closely sessile or on a short peduncle: calyx-tube and lid warty, covered with bluish white wax; stamens above ½in. long: fr. angular, ¾-1 in. across, the flat valves not protruding. Dec.-May. F.v.M. Eucal. 6:2. G.C. II. 15:601; III. 2:777, 784; 10:737. Gn. 71, p. 18; 75, p. 606. Maiden, Crit. Rev. Eucal. 79 (figs. 1-12).—The best species for general planting: extensively used in Calif. Its combination of rapidity of growth, straightness of trunk, great strength of wood, and its known ability to flourish under a wide range of conditions in Calif., give it a great advantage over any other species (Ingham). Wood stronger than that of E. rostrata and E. tereticornis, yellowish white, easily stained, not durable in the soil in Calif.: used there for insulator pins, spokes, felloes, whiffle-trees, handles, flooring and interior finish a good species for fuel: logs check badly in curing, this much less in the so-called "San Jos6 blue- gum" or "re-enforced gum" which, however, is thought by some to be only a selection of the best trees of ordinary blue-gum. Lvs. distilled for oil: fls. yield much honey to bees, but because of its pronounced flavor there is little or no demand for it in retail trade (Richter). Endures minimum temperatures of 25 and high temperatures of the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys but not of the desert districts: resists considerable drought when once established but best development is attained only on good and fairly deep soil. Fig. 1427 shows the stamens and the structure of the bud. Nos. 1-4 are half natural size; 5 is on a larger scale. No. 4 is a section of a bud.
