136. E. alba Reinw. " It is never a tall tree, nor is the trunk thick ; the branches 

 ^re usually straggling and not stained with exudations of gum. . . . Thus the 

 tree is always conspicuous, and when the open forest is composed of it, as it is between 

 Townsville (Q.) and the tableland, the effect of the masses of white trunks is very 

 striking." (J. E. Tenison-Woods, Proc. Linn. Soc, N.S.W., vii, 332, 1882-3, as 

 E. platyphylla.) " Tree of 40-50 feet; stem diameter to l| feet." (W. V. Fitzgerald, 

 Kimberleys, as E. plattjpliylla.) 



" A tree of 30 to 40 feet, with an erect trunk and widely spreading branches- 

 Trunk 10 to 25 feet in height, and 16 inches in diameter." (C. A. Gardner, Kimberleys, 

 as E. alba). 



181. E. argillacea W. V. Fitzgerald. "Tree 20-40 feet high, stem diameter 

 of 6-12 inches." (W. V. F.)

3. E. calycogona Turcz. Mr. Walter Gill, Conservator of Forests of South 

 Australia, sent me a photo of a tree 25 feet in height, and Mr. Max Koch says that it is 

 a tree of 30 feet at Cowcowing, Western Australia. " Fairly tall plants, reaching 25-30 

 feet, usually with only one stem." (F. W. Wakefield, Wedderburn, Victoria.) 



3. E. calycogona Turcz. A Mallee ; stems 6-15 feet, branchlets yellow (No. 2110) 

 Mallee, 20-30 feet, with thick stems of 6-10 inches in diameter, and a dense crown of 

 small pendulous leaves. Looks more like E. gracilis, but is a Mallee. (No. 2121.) 

 Harrismith, Western Australia (C. A. Gardner). 



83. E. Campaspe S. le M. Moore. "District Ranger Ferguson says it is 

 sometimes known as " Salmon Gum,' but it must not be confused with E. Salmonophloia 

 F.v.M. A specimen growing on a diorite hill near Coolgardie is a young tree (20 years 

 more or less). It has no trunk, but the limbs appear to grow and spread from the 

 ground much like a very large Mallee. Another tree stands about 40 feet, and its 

 branches spread and droop like a willow. The thickest part of the tree is about 

 8 inches in diameter, and the limbs spread from the ground." (J.H.M., in Joum. Roy. 

 Soc, N.S.W., li, 447, 1917.) " Known as ' Silver-topped Gimlet,' widely branched 

 and 20 to 30 feet in height, spirally fluted." (C. A. Gardner, Coolgardie.) (But see 

 remark " Wood is not twisted," by District Ranger Ferguson, quoted below at p. 154.)
