mueli clifFieulty in tlie application o£ it. The corymbose arrange- 

 ment of the flowers, the urccoh^te form of tiie frnit, and the 

 numerous transverse parallel veins of the leaves, distinguish this 

 tree from any of the preceding, whilst the kino-secretions of a 

 blood-like colour, which fill the concentric fissures of the wood 

 render the popular name of the tree appropriate. Though only 

 knovrn from Port Jackson in the early days of the Colony, E. 

 corymhosa is novr known to occur from Victoria to Hockingham 

 Bay. In tlie last mentioned place, the species seems to merge 

 into a closely allied form which Baron Mueller calls E. Aherrjlaim. 

 Beyond the Darling also and in Queensland, there is another 

 form {E. terminalls), which approaches E. corijmbosa so closely 

 that they can scarcely be distinguished in dried specimens. The 

 Baron, however, regards the three as distinct.

 described : " E. opcrculo Jidenilspluerlco suhmutico, calyce cuujuloso

 JJ ml) ell (c for mint niLiuqitim panicidam amplam sed parvani ; rami

 174) the Baron has given a description of this species, taken 

 principally from Smith, and he further states that specimens of 

 it were originally collected by David Burton ; whilst, in his 

 Eiocalijptofjrapliia, he connects it with one of the forms of Iron. 

 Bark which used to be common near Sydney. Though the wood 

 varies in colour, it is generally paler than that of E. sideropliloia 

 and has obtained the name of AVhite Iron Bark. This species is 

 now known to have a wide range, but strange to say, in South 

 Australia, where it seldom exceeds 30 feet, it goes by the name 

 of AVhite Gum Tree, the outer layers of the bark being deciduous. 

 E. panicidata produces kino, as well as its congeners. According 

 to the artificial arrangement, it stands near E. largijlorens, but
