Eucalyptus, L'Her. 



DEALBATA, F.v.M. Tliis, Dr.Woolls says, is regarded by some 

 as a variety of the preceding, but I have little doubt that 

 it is a good species. It is known as " White," or " Cab- 

 bage-gum"; useless for timber as it chips off and warps so 

 much that, if bolted dowu, the bolts sink into the wood 

 as it curls ; Cooyal, Home Rule, Biraganbil. 



BOSTRATA, Schl. " River Gum," " Yarrah ;" grows only on 

 river flats ; some of the old trees of this species are 

 perfect studies for the landscape paintei", and a portfolio 

 might be filled with "bits" of the most delightful kind 

 on the Menah Flat alone, where the trees have a gnarly 

 character with drooping foliage that I have not observed 

 elsewhere ; timber good, but in large logs almost impos- 

 sible to burn ; 13. 



TERETICORNIS, Sm. " Blue Gum ;" Reedy Creek, Two Mile 

 Flat, Home Rule. Whatever doubts may exist as to the 

 capabilities of the Mudgee district in other respects, it 

 must be admitted to be unrivalled in the production of 

 wool, and few districts, as will be seen from list above, 

 excel it in producing hardwood. I think there is a great 

 future before Mudgee in the matter of timber production, 

 and those who have seen its forest-clad hills will, I arn 

 sure, agree with me ;* 4. 



Metrosideros, Bks. 



GLOMULIFERA, Sm. Collected by Dr. Woolls ; 3. 



RHAMNACE.^. 



POMADERRIS, Labill. 



LANiGERA, Sims. Cooyal ; Summer ; known to settlers by 

 the curious name of "Wild Quince ;" 24. 



* In addition to the above Eucalypts, I have in my list E. hotryoides, 

 Sm., and E. obllqua, L'Heritier, but as I have for^^otten the authority for 

 including them, and can find no references to them in my notes, I thought 

 it best not to include them, especially as both are coast-loving trees.
