308 TWO SPECIES OF EUCALYPTUS FROM EASTERN AUSTRALIA. 



It differs from E. gracilis, under which it has been placed, in 

 (1) That it attains tree form, whilst E. gracilis is invariably a 

 " Mallee" in Eastern Australia. (2) The shape of the abnormal 

 leaves. (3) The shape of the normal leaves. (4) Texture of 

 leaves. (5) Shape of the buds. (6) Shape of the fruits. 

 (7) Nature of the timber. (8) Oil constituents. 



Morphologically the leaves resemble those of E. polybractea 

 R. T. Baker, and some forms of other Mallees such as E. viridis 

 R. T. Baker, &c. 



The bark and colour of timber show some analogy to those of 

 E. tesselaris, but the latter has bark of a coarser nature with 

 larger tesselations, and a timber much less durable and softer 

 than that of E. Thozetiana. 



E. loxophleba Benth., the " York Gum " of Western Australia 

 has the reputation of being the hardest of Australian timbers, 

 but E. Thozetiana far exceeds this species in this particular 

 quality. 



Systematically the species might be placed next to E. tesselaris 

 F.v.M. 



At Tandawanna, Goondiwindi, it is called "Yappunyah," 

 a name applied also to E. ochrophloia F.v.M., a far western species.
