5. E.fcecunda Schauer. "Butt has a rough persistent bark. Branches smooth, 

 York Gum." (Max Koch.) " Of a stringy nature near the base, but of a smooth, 

 greenish colour higher up." (Anon.) " Black flaky to almost ribbony bark on trunk, 

 smooth limbs." (J.H.M., Pindar.) " York Gum has a rough bark up to the branches, 

 and is generally with large spreading limbs, with short trunks. It does not seem to be 

 a tree yielding much timber. Bark flaky-fibrous, thin." (Percy Murphy, Goomalling.) 

 " Contains from 5 to 10 per cent. tans. Although this bark has not a high tannin 

 content, it is very plentiful over a wide range. The tree grows from 40 to 60 feet high, 

 and the bark is J-inch thick." (H. Salt.) 



224. E. Foelshceana F.v.M. " Of a light buff colour, or whiter, with purple 

 blotches of decorticating bark, otherwise quite smooth." (C. A. Gardner, Kimberleys.) 



355. E. Gardneri Maiden. Beginning (March, 1924) to shed in small crisped 

 flakes, the under pinkish brown. No. 2115. Harrismith (C. A. Gardner.) 



209. E. gracilis F.v.M. " The fibrous persistent bark extends upwards over 

 the greater portion of the trunk, ending in a collar-like fringe of ribbony bark. The 

 upper portion of the trunk and branches have a smooth greenish-brown bark." (C. A. 

 Gardner, Coolgardie, W.A.) In sending further specimens from the same locality 

 under the name "Black Morrel," he speaks of the "bark of the lower trunk thick, 

 fibrous, and persistent, with a fibrous brown outer layer and a dense yellowish-brown 

 inner layer." Locally known as a Blackbutt. Tree of 20-45 feet, typically a Morrel, 

 but the rough bark covering only the lower half of the trunk. No. 2119. Harrismith. 

 W.A. (C. A. Gardner). 



344. E. Herbertiana Maiden. " The tree has a resinous scent." (C. A. Gardner, 

 Kimberleys.) Perhaps this is a consequence of " Oil in Bark." Compare Part LII, 

 p. 101. 



281. E. Houseana (W.V.F.) Maiden. " Quite white, smooth, decorticating in 

 large thin flakes." (C. A. Gardner, Kimberleys.) 



4. E. incrassata Labill. Greyish-brown, deciduous in large greyish plates. 

 No. 1914. Thin, smooth, pale-brown, becoming greyish and decorticating in large 

 flakes. No. 1902. Greenish-brown, smooth, decorticating in rigid brown strips, 

 branchlets reddish. No. 2102. Harrismith (C. A. Gardner.) 



223. E. latifolia F.v.M. " Of a yellowish-pink colour, spotted with purple-grey 

 flakes, which give the trunk a mottled appearance . . . has an almost smooth 

 bark and would doubtless be a Bloodwood." (C. A. Gardner, Kimberleys.) 



332. E. leptophylla F.v.M. Thin, reddish, decorticating in rather thick grey- 

 brown plates or strips. No. 2102. Harrismith (C. A. Gardner).
