 is rather common. It is the commonest Stringybark on the Blue Moun-

 other rather common Blue Mountain Stringybark (E. capitellata), the 

 timber is redder ( !). The juvenile foliage is narrower, and not glaucous,, 

 like that of E. capitellata. The fruits of E. eugenioides on the Blue' 

 Mountains are not ot'ti.-n exsert; instances to the contrary are Spring-wood (H^ 

 Deane); Mount Wilson (Jesse Qregson), with inner bark very yellow. 



Jenolan Caves (W. F. Blakely). 



At Capertee (J. L. Buorman) and Mudgee (District Forester G. Marriott) 

 it is known as " White Stringybark." 



E. eugenioides does not appear to go further west than Jenolan Caves 

 and Mudgee.

 and prominent, and the valves slightly exsert.
