" Bloodwood. Good for fencing." . Maryborough. Fruits small (W. H. Williams) ; 

 Maryborough West (P. J. McGrath). " Bastard Blcodwccd. A stunted tree with large 

 parts of the small branches smooth bark, small branches smooth. Grows in poor grass- 

 tree country." (W. B. Petrie, No. 4, Fraper Island.) " A large tree, fruit same shape 

 as No. 4, and large, branches all carry rough bark, wood very durable in ground. Coppice 

 practically all rough-barked. Grows on better land than No. 4, which may account 

 for the difference." (W. E. Petric, No. 5, Fraser Island.) I cannot see any difference 

 in the herbarhirn specimens. The fruits are smallish and broadish, urceolate when 

 green, but getting more ovoid and corky-scaly when old.

AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. terminalis F.v.M. 



B.ntham says (B.F1. iii, 256) :— 



It is possible that some of the specimens (of J5". corymbosa) here referred to may belong to E, ciirudora 

 [this is a misapprehension. — J.H.M.], or the northern ones to E. terminalis [this would probably refer to some 

 of the Queensland ones ; see this page. — J.H.M.], both of which it is often veiy difficult to distinguish from 

 E. corymbosa. The figure usually quoted of E. corymbosa Cav. 7c. iv, t. 340 ? is a very indifferent one, 

 and looks much more like E. paniculala.
