PLATE XIV. 



A TYPICAL BLOODWOOD BARK. 



Eucalyptus corytnbosa, Sin. 



In this group of trees the bark is rough, rigid, reddish in colour, friable, and "very" 

 short in the fibre, with medium furrows. 



The oils of Eucalypts with barks of this character all contain the terpene pinene as 

 an important constituent. Cineol is usually almost absent. The " Bloodwoods " are 

 chiefly found in the first group and apparently represent the oldest species of the genus.
