New South Wales.— "She Ironbark " (Woolls, B.F1. iii. 211). 

 It is the "Red Ironbark" of the Southern Coast districts (E. 

 paniculata) ; var. angustifolia is " Narrow-leaved Ironbark " 

 (Woolls, B.F1. iii. 212). 



Victoria. — Bark persistent, hard and rough, or by outer decorti- 

 cation whitish and smooth outside. "The Box-Ironbark Tree" 

 (Mueller), Dichotomous Key. This is E. fasciculosa. 



South Australia.— "White Gum " (Behr, B.F1 iii. 212). It is 

 gured in Brown's Forest Flora of S.A. and called by him 

 " Panicle-flowered White Gum " in order to distinguish it from 

 the other white gums of that colony. From the description of the 

 bark, and the figure of it given, it is at once seen that the South 

 Australian paniculata (E. fasciculosa) is quite a different species 

 from our New South Wales ironbark of that name. The colour 

 of the South Australian timber is not given ; that of our ironbark 

 is medium red.
