RANGE. 



E. Guilfoylei is locally called "Yellow Tingle Tingle." It occurs on the edges 

 of Karri (E. dicersicolor) forests, between the Denmark River and the Leeuwin, in 

 deep gullies. The local timber-getters look upon it as a hybrid ("bastard" in 

 ordinary Australian timber parlance). 



Type— Denmark, "Western Australia. A. Murphy, March, 1905. 



E. Guilfoylei has been described as resembling the Jarrah in general 

 appearance, but the bark of the Jarrah is less rough. 



This tree (Yellow Tingle Tingle) is in appearance very like the "White Mahogany (E. acmenioide^ 

 Schauer. — J.H.M) of New South "Wales. The tree is sometimes about 4 feet in diameter, the average is 

 2 to 3 feet, the height over 100 feet. The timber is good and durable, splits well, is used for 

 palings and fencing, is sawn up for house-building purposes, and should make good railway sleepers, It 

 grows in rich rad loamy soil in the Karri hills, where it is fairly plentiful, at Denmark, "Western 

 Australia. It is entirely a different tree from the Karri. (Andrew Murphy and Louis Dillon,) 



Mr. Andrew Murphy, of Woy Way, New South Wales, first drew my 

 attention to this tree in 1905, he having received seed from Western Australia. 



When recently in Western Australia, I found the tree not in flower, and 

 appealed to the Surveyor-General (Mr. Harry F. Johnston) for information. He 

 gave me a copy of the following report by Mr. H. S. Brockman, Inspecting Banger, 

 to the Inspector- General of Forests : — 



There is another tree growing in the vicinity of Denmark, which is locally known by the same 

 name, and in general appearance is identical to the Frankland River timber, but on examination I found 

 the colour and texture of the wood quite different, the Denmark timber being quite a yellow or 

 " Boxwood " colour.
