the Monaro (N.S.W.) have almost no other timber but ZL’. Sreberzana 
and this species. The trunk of the latter does not there often 
extend to a greater height than 12ft. 
Following are samples in the Technological Museum: 
1. “Sally,” or ‘Black Gum,” very cross-grained, of a soapy 
nature, knotty; of a flesh colour. Diameter, 2 to 3ft.; height, 30 
to 50ft. (Haydon’s Bog, Delegate, N.S.W.) 2. ‘“Lead-coloured 
Gum” of Berrima, No. 35, London Cat., 1862; 266, Paris 
Cat., 1855. Diameter, 18 to 30in.; height, 30 to 4oft. ‘‘Of no 
value for timber, but excellent for fuel.”’ 
Victoria and New South Wales. 
CUEN Eucalyptus Stuartiana, 7.v.d7,, (Syn. £. persiczfolia, Miq. 
non Lodd.; E£. Bauertana, non Schauer.; £. falezfolia, Miq.; 
LE. pulverulenta, Sims, is very closely allied to £. Stuartiana, 
and it is a question whether they ought not to be united) ; 
N.O., Myrtacee, B.FI., iii., 243 (partly). 
Frequently called ‘‘Turpentine Tree,” or ‘‘ Peppermint Tree.” In 
Victoria it is known as “Apple Tree,’”’ ‘‘ Apple-scented Gum,” ‘ White 
Gum,” and “ Mountain Ash.” It is the ‘ Woolly Butt” of the county of 
Camden (New South Wales). Occasionally it is known as “ Stringybark.” 
It is called ‘‘ Box” about Stanthorpe (Queensland), ‘Tea Tree” at Frazer’s 
Island (Queensland), and ‘‘ Red Gum” in Tasmania. It is called ‘ But-but ” 
by the aboriginals of Gippsland. 
This timber is considered excellent for ships’ planks; is hard, 
and is said to be exceedingly durable underground, and difficult to 
burn. It is'used for sleepers, and many other purposes. (Hill.) 
The wood is hard, but it does not split well. It is excellent for 
fence posts, though inferior to /. rosfrafa in this respect. - It is 
sometimes employed for rough kinds of furniture, as it takes the 
polish well. 
The following samples of this timber are in the Technological 
Museum: 1. “Apple,” or ‘White Gum,” sandy-brown colour, 
coarse in the grain, shaky. (Victoria.) 2. No. 15, London Cat., 
1862. “Box.” Diameter, 24 to 48in.; height, soto goft. ‘Said 
to be good, but certainly not equal to the other varieties of box.’’ 
This is doubtless from the rough-barked variety of 4. Stuartiana. 
It has a wavy brown colour, tears under the plane, and is adapted
