E. coriacea A. Cunn. 

 White Gum. Pale-coloured, liable to gum- veins, warps seriously. 



E. Laseroxi R. T. Baker. " Stringybark." 

 Yellowish -brown., tough to cut, brittle; pale, with gum-veins. A poor, upland 

 timber. 



E. Mitchelliana Cambage. 

 Drooping Gum. Pale coloured, with gum-veins. 



E. Risdoni Hook. f. 



Risdoni var. data (Drooping Gum). 



Pale coloured. This species appears to have a greater affinity with the Coriaceae 

 than with amygdalina, alongside which it has been usually placed. 



E. STELLULATA Sieb. 



Green or Lead Gum. Pale-coloured, rarely free from gum- veins, warps seriously. 



Timber that shrinks much in drying may do so regularly or irregularly. Those 

 of the first-class have, when dry, practically the same shape as the original piece, but 

 those of the second-class take on irregular shapes. The timbers of E. stellulata and 

 E. coriacea belong to the latter class. 



E. vitrea R. T. Baker. 

 White-topped Messmate. Liable to gum-veins. 



G. Brittle Gums. 



I name these timbers (enumerated below) collectively Brittle Gums, as their 

 timbers are brittle rather than fissile. Colour pinkish (particularly when newly cut) 

 to pale red. (They connect with both the Whites and the Reds). 



Most of them are indeed Gums (18). with Half-barks (5), and Rough-barks (6). 



(a) Gums (Leiophloise). 



It will be observed that most of the timbers of this section are Gums. Most 

 of them go under the name of White Gum, but some have different qualifying adjectives.
