1 . E. panicidata, varies in the colour of the wood from white to 

 red, and, therefore, is sometimes called ''White," and sometimes 

 " Eed Ironbark," whilst, on the Blue Mountains, the j)ale variety 

 has the name of '' Brush Ironbark." Although this tree appears 

 in the interior in a stunted form, it rises in the counties of 

 Cumberland and Camden to the height of 120 feet, and the bark 

 is smoother and more uniform than that of the allied species. The 

 wood of E. paniculata, especially in the pale variety is very, hard 

 and tough, and, according to Sir W. Macarthur, is ''the most 

 valuable of all the Ironbarks," being highly prized by wheel- 

 wrights for shafts, spokes, and cogs or for any purposes where 

 strength and durability are requireu. The leaves vary in size 

 and shape from ovate-lanceolate to narrow-lanceolate, and, in 

 dried specimens, var. angustifolia is only to be distinguished from 

 E. crehra by having its outer stamens anantherous, although 

 practical men easily distinguish them by their wood and bark. 

 This tree prefers a better soil than some of its congeners, and, on 

 the Blue Mountains, it appears as a forest tree. Baron Mueller
