E. Tobtiana F.V.M. 

 A Woollybutt. A medium-sized, spreading or scrambling tree, attaining a stem- 

 diameter of 3 feet. Bark sub-fibrous, extending to the branchlets. 



E. torquata J. G. Luehmann. 

 Trees of 20-30 feet, with trunks of usually 4-10 feet to first branches. Bark 

 rough, flaky, dark coloured on the butt, the branches smooth. Timber undescribed. 



(b) With red timbers: — 



These red timbers include the Mahoganies, and Mahoganies prefixed by other 

 adjectives. E. marginata (Jarrah) is often known by old hands as Mahogany. The 

 Mahoganies are, as regards their barks, in some respects intermediate between the 

 Stringybarks (Pachyphloise) and the Bloodwoods (LepidophloiaB). E. longijolia is 

 known as Woollybutt. Tentatively I place here E. longicomis. ' 



All these species (with the possible exception of E. longicomis) are confined to 

 coastal areas, or at all events to districts not very far inland.

E. BOTRYOIDES Sm. 



Beautifully umbrageous, varies as to the extent of persistency of the rough bark, 

 whether it extends to the ultimate branchlets or not. Bark thick, softish, sometimes 

 called Woollybutt, but usually Bastard -Mahogany. A description of the Gippsland 

 trees, where they attain fine development, is — " Bark dark, rough scaly, and persistent 

 on the stems and main branches, smooth on the smaller branches, the outer bark on 

 these peeling off in thin flakes." 



E. exserta F.v.M. 

 A medium-sized tree, with rough bark, not a typical Peppermint, rather more 

 scaly, yet not scaly enough to be a Bloodwood. In the fruit, very closely allied to 

 E. rostrata and E, tereticornis.
