E. intermedia R. T. Baker. 



White Bloodwood. Pale coloured. " Hard, straight-grained." Sometimes 

 pinkish, but paler than E. corymbosa, and somewhat variable. 



E. MACULATA Hook. 



Spotted Gum. Tough, interlocked, durable. 



E. peltata Benth. 

 Yellow Jacket. Pale towards the outside, dark brown near the centre. 



E. TRACHYPHLOIA F.V.M. 



White Bloodwood. Brown, brittle of some writers. Pale coloured, somewhat 

 like E. maculata. 



E. Watsoniana F.v.M. 

 Pale brown. 



(a) E. setosa Group. 



This Group has the Bloodwood-like fruits, combined with scabrous Angophora- 

 like foliage, and thus we have a connecting link between the Bloodwoods and the 

 Moreton Bay Ashes. The only important member, E. Torelliana, has timber which 

 resembles that of E. maculata, the Spotted Gum. 



E. aspera F.v.M. E. setosa Schau. 



E. ferruginea Schau. E. Torelliana F.v.M. 



E. ASPERA F.V.M. 



A small tree; I know little of its timber. 



E. FERRUGINEA Schau. 



This is closely allied to E. setosa, and is apparently small. I have not been able 

 to obtain a specimen of the timber. 



E. setosa Schau. 

 Reddish, moderately hard and tough, according to one writer. Dark brown 

 (R. H. Cambage), hard, strong, and durable. 



E. Torelliana F.v.M. 

 Very pale, whitish to pale brown. Reminiscent of E. maculata, only freer. Very 

 fissile. An important timber. 



(b) Moreton Bay Ash Group. 



This is a naturally defined Group, with thin, papery fruits, which are very 

 deciduous. The bushman is quite aware of the peculiar nature of these fruits, which 

 remind one of those of the common Apple-trees (Angophora). 



The colours of the timbers vary from dark brown to brownish-red and red. It 

 must be borne in mind that we know but little of most of these timbers, except
