482 FOREST CULTURE AND 
ria and Arnheim’s Land. Of the quality of the tim- 
ber hardly anything is known, but the brilliancy of 
its scarlet flowers recommends this species to a place 
in any forest or garden-plantation. For the same rea- 
son, also, E. miniata, from North Australia, and E. fici- 
folia, from South-west Australia, should be brought 
extensively under cultivation. 
Eucalyptus pilularis, Smith. — The Black-butt tree 
of South Queensland, New South Wales, and Gipps 
Land. One of the best timber - yielding trees about 
Sydney, of rather rapid growth (Rev. Dr. Woolls). 
It is much used for flooring-boards. 
Eucalyptus platyphylla, F. v. Mueller. — Queens- 
land. Regarded by the Rey. Julian Tenison Woods 
as one of the best of shade-trees, and seen to produce 
leaves sometimes 1} feet long and 1 foot wide. This 
tree is available for open, exposed localities, where 
trees from deep forest valleys would not thrive. 
Eucalyptus robusta, Smith. — New South Wales. 
The timber in use for ship- building, wheelwrights’ 
work, and many implements, such as mallets, ete. 
Eucalyptus resinifera, Smith.—The Red Mahogany 
Eucalypt of South Queensland and New South Wales. 
A superior timber - tree, according to the Rey. Dr. 
Woolls, the wood being much prized for its strength 
and durability. . 
Eucalyptus siderophloia, Bentham.* — The large- 
leaved or red Iron-bark tree of New South Wales and 
South Queensland. According to the Rey. Dr. Woolls 
this furnishes one of the strongest and most durable 
timbers of New South Wales; with great advantage 
used for railway sleepers and for many building pur- 
poses. It is harder even than the wood of E. side- 
roxylon, but thus also worked with more difficulty.
