All distinctly fissile, although hot so much so as the most fissile of the 

 Renantherse. All well-grown trees yield valuable timber. Colour of timbers varying 

 from " not white " to brownish and reddish brown, i.e., becoming darker coloured 

 than most of the Renantherse. It is not easy to make distinctive remarks in 

 regard to the various Stringybarks. The names are not always distinctive. 



E. Blaxlandi Maiden and Cambage. 

 Closely allied to the next. 



E. CAPITELLATA Sm. 



E. eugenioides Sieb. 



Brown Stringybark. 



White Stringybark. 



E. l,evopinea R. T. Baker. 

 A silver-leaved Stringybark. 



E. MACRORRHYNCHA F.V.M. 

 E. MUELLERIANA Howitt. 



Red Stringybark. 



Yellow Stringybark. 



E. obliqua L'Herit. 

 Sometimes called Messmate. 



E. Penrithensis Maiden. 

 Bastard Stringybark. Light to reddish-brown, concentric though not abundant 

 gum-veins. Not a typical Stringybark — a reputed hybrid. 



E. Risdoni Hook. f. 



E. stellulata Sieb. 



E. vitrea R. T. Baker. 



F. Coriacea — ■ 



E. de Beuzevillei Maiden. 



E. coriacea A. Cunn. 



E. Laseroni R. T. Baker. 



E. Mitchelliana Cambage. 



Mostly Gums, more brittle, and perhaps more liable to gum-veins than the 

 generality of the section of Renantherae to which they belong. 



E. Laseroni is anomalous, for it is a reputed hybrid with a Stringybark, and its 

 timber seems to bear out that assumption. It is sometimes known as " Stringybark," 

 but it has more or less of a clean top. Indeed, several of the species have bark more 

 or less rough at the butt. 



The placing of E. Risdoni with the Coriaceae rather than with the Peppermints 

 (of which E. amygdalina is a representative) is a departure which will be emphasised in 



due course. 



E. de Beuzevillei Maiden. 

 Pale-coloured, almost white, with kino veins. General resemblance to E. coriacea 

 timber.
