478 FOREST CULTURE AND 
Encephalartos Derisonii, F. v. Mueller. — New 
South Wales and Queensland. This noble pine-palm 
is hardy here, and to be regarded as a most desirable 
acquisition to our garden sceneries, along with E. 
spiralis, E. preissii and the South African species. 
All admit of translocation, even when of large size, 
and when many years old. The stems, with an un- 
usual tenacity of life, remain sometimes dormant 
after removal for several years. 
Eucalyptus acmenoides, Schauer. — New South 
Wales and East Queensland. The wood used in the 
same way as that of E. obliqua (the Stringy - bark 
tree), but superior to it. It is heavy, strong, dura- 
ble, of a light color, and has been found good for pai- 
ings, flooring - boards, battens, rails, and many other 
purposes of house carpentry (Rey. Dr. Woolls). 
Eucalyptus botryoides, Smith.—From East Gipps 
Land to South Queensland. One of the most stately 
among an extensive number of species, remarkable 
for its dark-green shady foliage. It delights on riv- 
er-banks. Stems attain a length of 80 feet without a 
branch, and a diameter of 8 feet. The timber usually 
sound to the centre, adapted for water-work, wag- 
gons, knees of boats, etc. Posts of it very lasting, as 
no decay was observed in fourteen years. 
Eucalyptus brachypoda, Turezaninow.— Widely dis- 
persed over the most arid extra- tropical as well as 
tropical inland regions of Australia. One-of the best 
trees for desert- tracts; in favorable places 150 feet 
high. Wood brown, sometimes very dark, hard, 
heavy, and elastic, prettily marked; thus used for 
cabinet-work, but more particularly for piles, bridges, 
and railway sleepers (Rev. Dr. Woolls).
