The second variety, known as " Cabbage Gum," grown specially in the mountains and high alpine 

 regions, where it attains great size. It also occurs north of the Great Dividing Range in the valleys, on 

 rising grounds of the Ovens, Goulburn, and other rivers. This tree has everywhere a deservedly bad name 

 as being easily decayed, but it might possibly, where other timber is scarce, be used under some other name.

 throughout the neighbourhood between Omeo and Glen Wills at about 2,000 to 3,000 feet
