REMARKS. It attains a largo size in suitable situations, and on the Nandi-road, Moss Vale, trees are 1 

 found up to 14 feet in circumference, with hark exceedingly thick and deeply furrowed, strongly resembling in this 

 feature that of some " Ironbarks " as E. crebra. In the medium and early stages of its growth the bark is somewhat 

 smooth. The timber is pale-coloured, close-grained, hard, and difficult to work. It has been cut largely for works 

 of construction in the Wingello district. In the field it is easy to confound it with E. Sieberiana on a cortical 

 classification, and in the herbarium with /:. Australians, the abnormal leaves having a sjreat resemblance 

 to that species, as they also do to !'. riniina/i'i. The peculiar structure of its deeply furrowed bark distinguishes 

 it from any of its congeners, particularly E. viminalis, Labill., which has not a thick, furrowed bark, traversed 

 radially by broad rays of a yellow, pith-like substance, not possessing the characteristic odour so^marked in 

 this species.
