Description Holland, a widower, lives with his daughter on a property in the country where he has planted every kind of eucalypt he can lay his hands on.
His daughter has become a young woman, and her beauty attracts attention wherever they go. But Ellen has no interest in romance. Holland, anxious to find the right man for his daughter, announces a competition: the man who can correctly name, on the spot, all the species of eucalypts on Holland’s land will become Ellen’s husband.
Ellen is horrified and, to the amazement of the locals, contestants come from far and wide. But they all fall short before
