EUCALYPTUS TREES. 479 
Eucalyptus calophylla, R. Brown. — South - west 
Australia. More umbrageous than most Eucalypts, 
and of comparatively rapid growth. The wood is free 
of resin when grown on alluvial land, but not so when 
produced on stony ranges. It is preferred to that of 
EK, marginata and E. cornuta for rafters, spokes, and 
fence-rails ; it is strong and light, but not long-lasting 
under ground. The bark is valuable for tanning, as 
an admixture to acacia bark. 
Eucalyptus cornuta, Labillardiere. — South - west 
Australia. <A large tree, of rapid growth, preferring 
a somewhat humid soil. The wood is used for vari- 
ous artisan’s work, and there preferred for the strong- 
ests shafts and frames of carts and other work requir- 
ing hardness, toughness, and elasticity. 
Eucalyptus crebra, F. v. Mueller. — The narrow- 
leaved iron-bark tree of New South Wales and Queens- 
land. Wood reddish, hard, heavy, elastic, and durable, 
much used in the construction of bridges; also for 
wagons, piles, fencing, etc. KE. melanophloia(F. v. M.), 
the silver-leaved, iron-bark tree, and E. leptophleba, 
EK. trachyphloia, and E. drepanphylla are closely-al- 
lied species, of similar value. They all exude astrin- 
gent gum-resin in considerable quantity, resembling 
kino in appearance and property. 
Eucalyptus Doratoxylon, F. v. Mueller.—The spear- 
wood of South-west Australia, where it occurs in ster- 
ile districts. The stem is slender and remarkably 
straight, and the wood of such firmnegs and elasticity 
that the nomadic natives wander long distances to 
obtain it as material for their spears. 
Eucalyptus eugenioides, Sieber. New South Wales. 
Regarded by the Rey. Dr. Woolls as a fully distinct
