A favourite situation is in moist flats, or in brushy gullies, being often the 

 only species of Eucalyptus in such situations. When growing in the bottom of 

 narrow gullies, witli plenty of alluvium and moisture it shoots up towards the light, 

 and attains a great height and diameter of trunk. 



The canopy is not great, and the clean stem looks a striking object amidst 

 the surrounding umbrageous foliage at its base. Sometimes it ascends the sides of 

 the gully, or the sides of hills, but it never attains its best development away from 

 shelter.
