It is fairly plentiful in the Lismore district, being gregarious 

 with E. nigra R. T. Baker, and E. microcorys F.v.M., but is more 

 restricted to the open forest than those trees, both of which also 

 occur in the rich dense scrub, in fact, it is there that these 

 attain their greatest perfection (W. Bauerlen). 



The bark is persistent right out to the smallest branchlets, and 

 is used for roofing and other purposes by the settlers (W. 

 Bauerlen). The abnormal leaves, venation and texture differ 

 in shape from those of E. umbra, the species with which it was 

 previously confounded by me. The fruits, however, can scarcely 

 on a first inspection, if at all, be distinguished from those of 

 E. acmenioides, a species otherwise having quite a different timber, 

 oil and foliage. In E. acmenioides it will be found that the 

 valves and inner rim are always deeper sunk than in E. carnea. 

 The leaves of these two trees, though having much the 

 same venation, are decidedly different, especially in their texture, 

 shape and colour. Those of E. acmenioides are thin, whilst those 

 of E. carnea are thick; and the abnormal leaves of each are 

 quite different and sharply divide the species. Its nearest 

 congener is E. nigra in a ligneous classification, otherwise it 

 differs from it in the shape of its fruits, leaves and oil contents. 



The specific characters which differentiate it from the other 

 Stringybarks, such as E. Wilkinsoniana, E. Icevopinea, E. dextro- 

 pinea, E, eugenioides, E. fastigata, E. capitellata, E. macro- 

 rhyncha, are too obvious to be enumerated here. 



In a systematic series it might be placed between E. acmenioides 

 and E. nigra. 



Eucalyptus Thozetiana F.v.M., ined. " Lignum- vitse." 



(Plate xxiv.) 



An erect, graceful tree, rarely attaining a height of over 70 



feet, with a smooth, compact, whitish bark, decorticating in 



hard, short flakes at the base, which, according to Mueller's MS., 



is deeply furrowed, but is not so described by my correspondent, 



Mr. C. W. Chapman (to whom I am indebted for the full 



material). Branchlets angular, but soon terete, reddish-coloured.
