526 AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANTS. 
8. No. 22, London Exh., 1862; 265, Paris Exh., 1855. “Blue 
Gum,” of Berrima. Diameter, 24 to 36in.; height, 40 to 8oft. 
“‘ Said to be good timber, but not to be compared with the other 
varieties of Blue Gum.” Of a red colour, straight in the grain, and 
a splendid working timber. 9. No. 103, London Cat., 1862. 
“Grey Gum,” of the Clarence, of a dark red colour, fairly good to 
work, a heavy timber, hard and durable, valuable for building 
purposes. 
Mr. Allen Ransome tested a sample of this timber sent from 
New South Wales to the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, on the 
planing and moulding machines, “and in all cases the results 
were very satisfactory.” 
It is to be borne in mind that this Eucalypt is closely allied, 
botanically, to Z. rostrata, and the timbers of these two trees have 
much incommon. Diameter, 18 to 36in. (exceptionally to 6ft.) ; 
height, 60 to goft., and exceptionally up to 15oft. 
Gippsland, New South Wales and Queensland. 
325. Eucalyptus terminalis, #.v.J7,, (Syn. Z. polycarpa, F.v.M.); 
N.O., Myrtacez, B.FI., iii., 257. 
** Blood-wood.” Called ‘‘Arang-mill” by the natives of the Dawson 
River, Queensland. 
This interior species is, as far as the flowers go, the same as 
the “‘ Blood-wood” (£. corymbosa) of the coast, but the bark is 
different, as it is far more brittle, and can scarcely be stripped in 
large pieces. The present species also yields but little kino, and 
that of obviously a different character to that yielded by Z£. 
corymbosa. 
Timber very red, used for building purposes, slabs, posts, 
joists, etc. It is not highly spoken of, but it is almost the only 
fairly large timber available in the districts in which it grows. 
South Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and Northern 
Australia. 
326. Eucalyptus tesselaris, “v.dZ, (Syn. Z£. viminalis, Hook. ; 
E. Hookert, F.v.M.); N.O., Myrtacex, B.FI., iii., 251. 
Commonly called ‘Moreton Bay ‘Ash.’ By the aboriginals of the 
McDonnell Range (Central Australia) it is called “ Ilumba,” by those in
