 (Metung to Boggy Creek, (J.H.M.). " Bairnsdale Red Box." 



Wangaratta, handsome, spreading trees, glaucous all over (J.H.M.), hence 

 sometimes called " Grey Box." 



"Hill Box," Mt. Kosciusko Range, red wood (Eindlay), probably on the 

 Victorian side (National Herbarium, Melbourne).

Red Hill, Heathcote (W. S. Brownscombe). " Habit more upright-growing 

 than the usual form of E. polyanthemos. Eoliage like Red Box on the lower 

 branches, gradually merging into lanceolate leaves towards the higher branches. 

 Bark like a typical polyanthemos." (Note this remark on the variation of width 

 of leaves, which is especially common in this species).

 Gum," " Red Mahogany," Kyamba, Wagga Wagga district (Eorester Taylor). 



" Red Box," Wagga Wagga District (W. Orr). Mr. Eorester Taylor has the 

 following note on some other specimens : " Red or round Shining-leaf Box. Yields 

 a very useful timber of a dark red colour. The only similarity between this and 

 Bimbil (E. populifolia) is the roundish shiny leaves, which glisten in the sun." 

 Personally I have never noticed shining, glistening leaves, though in E. populifolia 

 this is common enough. 



" Round-leaf Gum," Tumut (W. S. Campbell). Tumut (H. Deane). Mr. 

 Deane has the following note : " Deciduous, smooth bark ; var. E. polyanthema. 

 Very like the Mudgee Slaty Gum. Same as Red Box from Queanbeyan apparently." 



" Round-leaved Gum," Tumut (W. W. Froggatt). Some of the leaves 

 tending to lanceolate. The fruits shiny, and showing the cracked appearance at the 

 orifice common in the species. " Red Box," Gilmore-road, Tumut (R. H.

 not to be distinguished from the Bombala specimen. Eruits narrow, tapering at 

 orifice. .
