E. propinqua Deane and Maiden. 

 Red. The timber so resembles that of Red Ironbark as to be often substituted 

 for it. 



E. punctata DC. 

 Hardly to be distinguished from the preceding. 



D. Red Box— 



The term " Red Box " was first given to E. polyanthemos, to indicate a tree with 

 " box " bark (a term of rather wide application, as has already been seen, under Barks, 

 Part LI, p. 36), and with red interlocked timber. Every tree is known as Box of 

 some kind or another. Most of them come from New South Wales, but three are peculiar 

 to tropical Queensland. There is sometimes a very undefined line between a Box and 

 a Gum, Avhile the name Blackbutt is often applied locally (see Part L, p. 310) to a 

 Gum with not very much dark, flaky bark at the butt.
