Splendid forests of this grand timber are l^eing ring- 

 barked by the selectors. The flowers are very much 

 sought after by bees, and are their standby during times 

 of drought when other flowers are scarce; September. 



E. GLOBULUS, Labill. A small-fruited variety occurs at Nulla 

 Mountain, 24 miles east of Rylstone.

 "White Gum," " Swamp Gum," " River Gum," " Brittle 

 Gum;" timber not used. 



E. TERETicoRXis, Sm. "Red Swamp Gum;" "Red Gum."

E. Stuartiana, F.v.M. " Woolly Butt." At Mount Vin-

 River. The dark copper-coloured foliage of this tree

 the bush in this locality, where it goes by the local name 

 of " Ironwood." At Mount Vincent, near Ilford, it is 

 known as " Red Gum " 



E. Guxxii, Hook. f. Occurs on both sides of the Dividing 

 Range. Known as " Mountain Gum " at Kelgoola, but 

 ha.s no vernacular name at Murrumbo. 



E. TRACHYPHLOiA, F.V.M. Only found at two places. Cox's 

 Gap and Murrumbo Gate. It has not been recorded 

 from any other locality in this Colony, and is known only
