others horizontally, but all curling. The new bark on the lower section is of a rich 

 yellow-brown to Orange-brown colour. The mid-section, which will not shed a layer 

 this year, is covered with a blue-grey bloom which rubs off on the hand and exposes bark 

 of a reddish colour. The bark of the young wood and the top of the trees is red without 

 the bloom powder.' Specimens from Mr. Fauntleroy show it to have a smooth, tough 

 bark, which strips in long lengths. The smooth bark has thin reddish-brown flakes, 

 which fall off in succession." (J.H.M., in Journ. Roy. Soc, N.S.W., li, 446, 1917.) 



3. E. calycogona Turcz. " Smooth, greyish, very similar in colour to that 

 of E. fruticetorum." Wedderburn, Victoria (F. W. Wakefield). 



Greenish-brown, smooth, with flakes of shedding grey-brown bark. No. 2110. 

 Dark brown, smooth above, but inclined to be flaky-rough at the base. No. 2117. 

 Harrismith, W.A. (C. A. Gardner, March, 1924). 



269. E. Cambageana Maiden. In Part LI this is classified as a member of the 

 Hemiphloise, with a red timber. It would appear from the following note that the rough 

 bark is more or less tessellated. " Rough bark marked into squares halfway up the 

 stem. Blackbutt." (H. I. Jensen.) 



83. E. Campaspe S. le M. Moore. " Bark much the same as E. salubris, but 

 wood is not twisted." (District Ranger Ferguson, near Coolgardie). " Smooth, thin, 

 and brown, decorticating in large flakes. The branchlets are glaucous." (C. A. Gardner, 

 Coolgardie.) 



189. E. clavigera A. Cunn. " Of the lower portions persistent and flaky, that of 

 the upper deciduous, decorticating in large thin flakes. The height of the persistent 

 bark varies, but is usually from 4 to 6 feet, of a grey colour, while the deciduous portions 

 are of a light greyish-pink colour." (C. A. Gardner, Kimberleys.) Mr. C. T. White 

 speaks of the bark near Port Moresby, Papua, as being " easily distinguished by the 

 blackish tessellated bark at the butt, extending for about 5 to 10 feet up the trunk." 



71. E. Cfoeziana F.v.M. See the description of the bark already given. Mr. 

 H. S. Bloxsome says that the bark at the extremities of the branches becomes smooth, 

 like Gum-topped Box (presumably E. hemiphloia). 



8. E. coccif era Hook. " Small tree, with a smooth white bark." (L. Rodway.) 



188. E. confluens W. V. Fitzgerald. " White, smooth." (W.V.F.) 



334. E. conglobata (R.Br.) Maiden. Varying from a light silvery grey to a deep 

 dull greenish-grey. No. 2103. Olive-green or brownish-green, smooth and thin, with 

 small hard patches of deciduous bark adhering near the base. No. 2114. Harrismith, 

 W.A. (C. A. Gardner). Silvery-white, decorticating in tough, stringy, ribbon-like strips 

 along the entire length of the stem, the new bark persistently smooth. Grasspatch 

 (C. A. Gardner, No. 2220).
