448 AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANTS. 
273. Bucalyptus eugenioides, Szed., (Syn. ZL. pipertia, var. eugent- 
oides, Benth. ; and probably &. scabra, Dumont. 
A “ Stringybark,” and sometimes ‘‘ White Stringybark,” and ‘ Broad- 
leaved Stringybark.” | 
This wood is pale-coloured, splits well into shingles, palings, 
rails, and slabs, and can also be sawn into flooring-boards, but it 
forms a very inferior fuel. It is stated to be somewhat less fissile 
than other Stringybark trees, but more lasting. (Mueller.) It is 
said to grow as high as 2ooft., though the author has never seen 
it so high. 
Eastern Victoria to Southern Queensland, usually at no great 
distance from the coast. 
274. Eucalyptus eximia, Schauer, B.FI., iii., 258. 
By Sydney people this is variously known as ‘‘ Mountain Bloodwood,” 
“Yellow Bloodwood,” and “ Rusty Gum.” It is called “‘ Bloodwood ” 
partly because kino exudes in the concentric circles of the wood (which 
kino, by the way, cannot be mistaken for that of Z. corymbosa), and partly 
because its fruits are in shape very similar to those of Z. corymbosa. 
Baron von Mueller states (Eucalyptographia) that it sometimes goes by the 
name of ‘‘ Smooth-barked Bloodwood.” The colour of the bark is a dirty 
yellow. 
This tree does not afford durable timber, the wood being 
soft and light-coloured; it makes good fuel. It is a most 
valuable timber for the formation of waterworks; an instance is 
known in which a piece of this timber was 35 years under water, 
and no sign of decay was visible (General Report, Sydney Inter- 
national Exhibition, 1879). Height, up to 8oft. 
Blue Mountains of New South Wales. 
295: Eucalyptus feecunda, Schauer. Possibly including £. 
loxophieba, Benth., (a separate species in B.FI., iii., 252); 
(Syn. £. amygdalina, Schauer non Labill.; 4. fruticetorum, 
Biv.M;)3) B.FI.,:iii.,:25 2. 
By the aboriginals of Murchison River (Western Australia) this tree 
is known as ‘“‘ Ooragmandee,” £. loxophleba is known by the aboriginal 
name of ‘ Yandee,” but usually to the colonists of Western Australia as 
“York Gum,” as it is very abundant near the town of York.
