 than the usual form of B. polyanthemos. Eoliage like Red Box on the lower

" Red Box," Wagga Wagga District (W. Orr). Mr. Forester Taylor has the 

 following note on some other specimens : " Red or round Shining-leaf Box. Yields 

 a very useful timber of a dark red colour. The only similarity between this and 

 Bimbil [E. populifolia) is the roundish shiny leaves, which glisten in the sun." 

 Personally I have never noticed shining, glistening leaves, though in JE. populifolia 

 this is common enough.

 Deane has the following note : " Deciduous, smooth bark ; var. E. polyanthema. 

 Very like the Mudgee Slaty Gum. Same as Red Box from Queanbeyan apparently."

 tending to lanceolate. The fruits shiny, and showing the cracked appearance at the 

 orifice common in the species. " Red Box," Gilmore-road, Tumut (R. H.
