For the other species, we refer our readers to Dr. Mueller's Reports on th 

 Vegetation of the Colony, and Mr. Swainson's "Botanical Report," 1853. 

 The leaves of some of the eucalypti present a dotted appearance, which is 

 caused by the presence of numerous cells or cavities, containing essential 

 oil, which with the gum which exudes from their stems, considering their 

 vast number, must render them very valuable.
