Although rich in such beautiful flowers
as the arum lily. amaryllis ixia and other
choice dubious plants, and also in fruits
like the peach and tangerine, South Africa
is wofully lacking in trees of size suffi-
Gent to make a respectable wood or PLAN
tation.
The only variety which appears to thrive
in any quantity is the blue gum Eucalyp-
tus globulus), which is found in large num-
bers so much so that many people are I'M
der the impression that it is a native of the
place.
This. however, is mistake, as the real
home of all the eucalypti was originally
Australia, where al the present time many
of the species frequently attain the height
of over 800 feet II rarely reaches this
altitude in South Africa, however although
IL soon establishes itself and then grows at
a tremendous rate, rapidly forming fine
handsome tree with thick, glaucous foliage
In the form of avenues it is a prominent
feature in many towns The chief street
of the town of Worcester Cape Colony, has
two fine rows of the tree.
Eucalyptus globulus Is cultivated to some
extent in the malariouS districts of Italy
and In other countries bordering the Medi-
terranean sea. In this country it is some
for bedding in a subtropical garden or
grouping on lawn, but it does not stand
our climate very well and of course
never reaches to any great height. 1t is the
variety that yields the eucalyptus oil, the
antiseptic so much recommended as cure
for influenza. Moreover, its leaves, rolled
into the form of cigars and smoked are
said to be a cure. for asthma. In South At
RIGA it is the principal and practically the
only timber tres.
