E. Smithii K. T. Baker. 



A ribbony-barked tree of considerable size. It has smooth limbs, and most 

 of the butt is smooth. 



E. viminalis Labill. 



A tree usually of moderate size, but sometimes attaining a great height, with a 

 rough, persistent bark, at least on the trunk and main branches ; that of the smaller 

 branches often smooth and deciduous, and sometimes the whole described as 

 deciduous. Mueller quotes it up to 320 feet high, with a diameter of 17 feet or 

 20 feet. While it is undoubtedly a large tree, I would like such an extreme size to 

 be authenticated. It is a White Gum, with more or less hard, dark bark at the 

 butt. It is also called Ribbony Gum, the ribbons being sometimes very long. While 

 it is usually smooth and white from the base, sometimes the trunk is coarsely scaly, 

 or scaly-fibrous, even to the upper branches. See Part XXVIII, p. 167. 



b. With red or reddish-brown timbers : — 



It is sometimes very difficult to say where red ends and reddish-brown begins, 

 particularly because the latter tint is often a sign of over-maturity of a normally red 

 timber. 



E. accedens W. V. Fitzgerald (reddish-brown). 



E. amplifolia Naudin. 



E. Blakelyi Maiden. 



E. Daivsoni R. T. Baker. 



E. intertexta R. T. Baker.

E. microtheca F.v.M. (in part). 



E. Parramattensis Hall. 



E. rostrata Schlecht. 



E. Seeana Maiden. 



E. tereticornis Sm. 



E. accedens W. V. Fitzgerald. 



A medium-sized tree, a sturdy White Gum, attaining a height of 60 feet and 



a diameter of 2 feet. Bark greyish or white, with the usual lenticular patches, hence 



the name "Spotted Gum"; called a "powder bark" because of the pulverulence of 



the outer surface. The timber is pale-reddish brown when fresh, and of course 



darkens with age. 



E. amplifolia Naudin. 



A medium-sized tree with coarse foliage. Bark smooth or more or less 



ribbony. 



E. Blakelyi Maiden. 



An erect tree of medium size with smooth, more or less, blotched bark. 



E. Dawsoni R. T. Baker. 

 A tall tree with smooth bark more or less falling away in lenticular flakes. 

 Closely allied to E. polyanthemos.
