 E. Mahogany— 



This name is a very old one as applied to Australian hardwoods, and was first 

 applied to E. resinifera, the Red or Forest Mahogany. It reminded the first settlers of the 

 West Indian Mahogany, to which is is not botanically closely related.

F. Woolly-butt — 



The term Woolly-butt is self-explanatory, being applied to trees whose butts 

 are more or less covered with a soft bark. All vernaculars tend to laxity of application, 

 and this particular name has been applied to trees which have harsh rather than soft 

 barks. 



E. botryoides and E. robusta are often known as Mahogany, but their barks are 

 softer than those of E. resinifera and its allies.

4. IRONBARKS (Schizophloige). 



Ironbark timbers form (as a group) the heaviest, toughest, and strongest of 

 Eucalyptus timbers. The prevailing colour is red, but in E. Beyeri we have 

 brown as the prevailing colour, and E. paniculata (usually looked upon as the most 

 valuable of all Ironbark timbers) has the palest-coloured of all the Ironbarks, with, 

 however, shades of red.
