No. 25 in the London Exhibition Catalogue undoubtedly also 
elongs to this species. The author arrived at this decision 
ignorant of the fact that its vernacular names (‘‘ Rough-barked 
Gum” and “ Burram-burrang’’) were also borne by the tree 
which yielded the last specimen. This tree is described as 36 to 
48in. in diameter, and 80 to goft. in height, and it is said to yield 
“a good hardwood timber.’”’ The present sample has a red colour, 
somewhat disposed in stripes, has a close, even grain, is tough, and 
a splendid working timber. _It is evidently from a comparatively 
free-growing tree. _ It has split somewhat, apparently in the drying. 
The timber (No. 136, Cat. Paris Exh., 1855, and No. 43 
London Exh., 1862) should also be referred to this species. In 
the former catalogue Sir William Macarthur describes it as the 
“Swamp Mahogany” of Camden, and as “a fine species, with 
handsome foliage, yielding fine timber, but not of such strength 
and durability as many other kinds. Diameter, 36 to 48in.; 
height, 80 to rooft.” 2. robusta has “handsome foliage,” and is 
also a ‘Swamp Mahogany,” but this timber is more like the type 
samples of £. bofryoides). In the 1862 catalogue the Camden 
aboriginal name is given as “ Burram Murra,” and it is stated to be 
“a useful timber for inside work.’’ It is of a light brown colour, 
light in weight, and exceedingly good to work. Diameter, 30 to 
s5oin. (“up to 8ft.’’ Mueller); height, 70 to rooft. 
The Board also experimented upon a piece of ‘ Blue Gum” 
from “‘ Queensland,” which is called Z. dotryordes in their Report. 
This is a mistake. The Queensland Blue Gum is £. saligna. 
(q.v.) The confusion in nomenclature has arisen in this way. 
In B.FL., iii., 229, Bentham puts /. dofryordes as indigenous in 
Queensland, on the ground that Sir William Macarthur’s sample 
of wood, No. gt, Casalogue of N.S.W., etc., Timbers at the Paris 
Exhibition, 1855, came from Brisbane. This is'a clerical error 
for Brisbane Waéer, near Sydney. It is as well to draw attention 
to this inadvertence, inasmuch as (presumably following Bentham) 
Bailey has included this species in his Syz. Queensland Flora, and 
it has even caused Baron Mueller (Eucalyptographia), to hesitate as 
to whether £. Jofryoddes is found in Queensland or not. The original 
timber specimen referred to by Bentham is in the author's charge.
