 E. viminalis, Labill. Manna gum. 



A tree sometimes 300 feet high, and 15 feet or more in dia- 

 meter, but often of irregular and poor form. The tree will not 

 stand- much wind and will not thrive on poor soil. 



The timber is not valuable, but is sometimes used for shingles, 

 fence rails and ship construction. It is not a very good fuel 

 wood.
