Eucalyptus longifolia, Link et Otto, B.F1. iii. 226. 



No. 59. Usually known as " Woolly Butt." " The timber 

 often traversed by kino-sediments" (Mueller). Specimen of kino 

 from Dromedary Mountain, Tilba Tilba, N.S.W., where it is 

 locally known as "Peppermint." Collected 13th September, 1889. 

 Height, 80-100 feet. Diam., 2 to 6 feet. 



This kino is dull looking, and of a dark brown colour, it does 

 not powder readily between the fingers, it has a very bright 

 fracture. 



It dissolves almost entirely in water, the liquid remaining very 

 turbid. In alcohol the colour is lighter than in the majority of 

 kinos of this group ; the appearance of turbid kinos when dissolved 

 in alcohol is, however, often so much alike, that it is sometimes 

 difficult to point out any distinction in their behaviour in this 

 solvent.

" Bloodwood." This tree is perhaps as fortunate in its ver- 

 nacular name as any of the Eucalypts. When freshly exuded, 

 the kino has all the appearance of a stream of blood, and so freely
