The following were collected by Rev. Dr. Woolls, and the labels bear some of his 

 remarks, which explain some of his writings : — 



1. " HemiphloiiB. Bastard Box. Very like the 'true Box' in appearance 

 {E. hemiphlma). May be E. popuhiea or E. (c) gneorifolia.'' This specimen was labelled 

 E. folyanthemos by both Mueller and Bentham. Fairfield. {E. populnea is a synonym 

 of E. fOfulifolia. See Part X, p. 340.) 



2. " Poplar-leaved Gum. Ehytiphloite. Bark persistent. Small tree on the 

 Nepean called Lignum Vitse. Heart wood very hard. E. populnea ? See Hooker." 

 Labelled E. polyanthema Schauer by Mueller, and Bentham concurred. 



3. " E. populnea. On the banks of the Nepean. Bark like Stringybark, but 

 not so fibrous. Sometimes called Bastard Box. I think this must be E. populnea. 

 Wood very hard, used for rough furniture. Small tree called Lignum Vitse." 



Following are specimens additional to those seen by Mueller or recorded by 

 myself, op. cit. : —

 upwards. Locally known as Bastard Box." Eden-Towamba (J. L. Boorman). " Blue 

 Box," near Cobargo (W. Dunn). Moruya (E. Breakwell). 



" Exceedingly large trees, having large and round stems, of a Box-like scaly 

 appearance. Yield a large amount of good, sound timber for use in fencing and such- 

 like purposes. Has yielded most of the fencing on the Bodalla Estate. Fairly common.
