Excerpt from The Red or Orange Scale
Regarding the occurrence of the scale in this state in 1880 Comstock says, I have observed this species in several groves at San Gabriel and Los Angeles. At the first named place, where it is very abundant, it is said to have first appeared on a budded orange tree which was purchased by Mr. L. J Rose, at one of the hothouses in San Francisco. At Los Angeles it appears to have spread from six lemon trees which were brought from Australia by Don Mateo Keller. Thus the question as to the source from which we derived this pest is settled beyond a doubt.
