52 J. H. Maiden. 
a very regular umbellate appearance. Mostly pale-coloured when dry. 
Very uniform in size, 2 to 2!/, inches (barely) in diameter and pilular 
or nearly pear-shaped. Sometimes they tend to close at the orifice. The 
rim varies in width. In some specimens it is comparatively broad, well- 
defined and reddish. Timber. — White, fissile, rather tough when 
freshly cut, but afterwards of inferior strength. It is easily worked, but 
not durable on exposure. 
6. Eucalyptus Banksii Maiden, |. e., p. 774. 
A very large tree up to 100 ft., reminding one of E goniocalyx in 
habit, Quite glabrous or the twigs a little glaucous. It has clean stems 
without ribbons and no rough bark. 
It is locally known as „Woolly Butt“ because the bark is fuzzy 
to eut. 
Juvenile leaves nearly orbicular or oblong, cordate at the base 
and stem-clasping, strietly opposite, gradually becoming broadly lanceo- 
late and finally lanceolate; texture thickish, glabrous, slightly paler 
underneath. The midrib prominent, the main lateral veins also conspi- 
cuous and making approximately an angle of 45° with the midrib. The 
ends of these lateral veins connected by loops (brachydodromous), said 
loops at a considerable distance from the edge. Besides these, there 
are a large number of fine anastomosing veins. Twigs nearly terete, 
reddish. Mature leaves rather large, 9 inches long by 1!/, broad not 
being an uncommon size. Equally green on both sides, falcate, venation 
rather prominent, intramarginal vein at some distance from the edge, 
venation spreading. Buds sessile, the head of 4 to 7 either on a 
short strap-shaped peduncle or this may be absent. The buds more or 
less angular by mutual compression. The opereulum blunt conieal or 
hemispherical. Flowers. — Anthers opening in parallel slits. Fruits 
small, under !/, inch in diameter, conoid or nearly hemispherieal, rim 
narrow and slightly domed, valves (only three in the specimens seen) 
well exserted. Bark of a dull uniform grey; woolly or fuzzy to cut. 
Not as soft and as Box-like as in E. Stuartiana: Branches smooth, not 
ribbony. The uniformity of the smooth bark of this species (intermediate 
between that of a gum and a box, and somewhat resembling that of a 
Grey Gum, E. punctata or E. propinqua) is notable. Timber. — A good 
hard timber. not soft like that of E, Stuartiana. Pale-coloured, a timber 
of promise, but data not available in regard to its economic merits. 
Hab. — On the sides of hills at an elevation of about 3500 feet in 
the Wallangarra (New South Wales-Queensland border) district 
(J. L. Boorman, August 1904); Emmaville (J. L. Boorman, Oktober 
1901). 
Affinities. — This species has been rarely collected, but has 
hitherto been looked upon as conspecific with E. Stuartiana or E. 
viminalis.
