Swamp Mahogany, or White Mahogany, <i>Eucalyptus robusta</i>,
Smith, <i>N.O. Myrtaceae</i>, B. Fl. This tree is known as
White, or Swamp Mahogany, from the fact that it generally grows

no great strength is required, it is excellent, especially when
we consider its adaptability to stagnant, swampy, or marshy
places.
