This tree is common in woods throughout western Hupeh, where it is known as 
the Tsu-kang, and the wood is similar to and used for the same purposes as that of 
E. macrophylla Wallich. 
The only Australian specimens I have seen are one collected on Richmond River 
by C. Moore and another from Hastings River collected by Dr. Beckler and both 
referred by Bentham to his var. laxiflora. The Chinese specimens agree well with 
Bentham's full description of Brown's species, and in the absence of Australian 
material of the typical plant there is nothing to be done but to follow Clarke and 
others in referring the Asiatie plant to Brown's species. Nevertheless, I am scep- 
tical as to the two being conspecific, since such distribution is contrary to all we 
know of Chinese woody plants.
