Vernacular names. — One of the "White or Cabbage Gums," but 

 not to be confused with E. hceniastoma, var. micrantha, which 

 goes by the same names. Its usual name with us is " White 

 Gum," though it is very frequently called " Cabbage Gum " also. 

 The names " Flooded Gum " and " Peppermint " under which this 

 species is known in Victoria (B. Fl.) would not appear to be in 

 use in this colony. As regards the latter name, we suggest that 

 it has arisen from the fact that a form of E. araygdalina growing 

 in the south-eastern part of the colony resembles E. coriacea in 

 fruits and perhaps in other respects. We have evidence pointing 

 in this direction. 



The species goes under the name of " Weeping Gum " in Tas- 

 mania, owing to its scrambling habit; the name is also in use at 

 Uralla, N.S.W. At Glen Innes it is locally known as "Tumble- 

 down Gum," also by reason of its aspect. 



" Glassy Gum " is a name in use at Guyra, on account of the 

 vitreous appearance of the bark. 



" White Sally " is a name in use at Queanbeyan. 



Seedling leaves. — Broader than the mature leaves; more or less 

 ovate. 



Mature leaves. — Coriaceous, yet often succulent, and hence eaten 

 by stock. They are comparatively large, six inches being a 

 common length, while five inches is perhaps under the average. 

 The width is usually about IJ inch. They are usually shiny, 

 but in the coldest districts often glaucous. The venation is as 

 stated under stelhdata, and in this respect not only shows affinity 

 with that species but also with ainygdaliiia, particularly through 

 the variety latifolia of that species. 



Tiinher. — Pale coloured, full of gum veins; warps a good deal. 



Variations fr 01 a ti/pe. — Following are notes on Eucalypts which 

 more or less depart from the typical form of K. coriacea : — 



{a) E. coriacea becomes less glaucous in the Delegate district; 

 bark scribbled like E. lixpninstoma. The young leaves are larger 

 and thinner than those of the type.
