211. E. longicornis F.v.M. " Of the trunk persistent and fibrous-flaky, more 

 or less fissured in the adult tree, light grey in colour. In fracture the bark has an outer 

 brown layer, and the inner bark is a pink or red colour. That of the branches is smooth, 

 greenish-brown or brown, with grey streaks." (C. A. Gardner, Coolgardie.) Thin 

 greenish-brown bark, ultimately decorticating to a pale olive-green or brownish bark.

133. E. Macarthuri Deane and Maiden. " The occurrence of oil-glands in the 

 barks of certain Eucalypts,'' by M. B. Welch, Proc. Linn. Soc, N.S.W., xlvii, 428-438 

 with two plates of the anatomy of the barks of E. Macarthuri and E. Smithii (1922). 

 The author states that a large number of species have been examined with negative 

 results, and that it is evident that Eucalypts with bark oil-glands are the exception 

 rather than the rule. Those species in which oil-glands occur are noted in detail, and 

 there is a useful summary at p. 437. 



53. E. melanophloia F.v.M. " Another peculiarit)^ about it is that the rough 

 deeply furrowed black bark extends to the very small branches. Now, in most Eucalypts 

 the bark, however rough on the stem, becomes smooth on the smaller branches, but it 

 is not so here. The bark is always rough and always black and coarse-looking." 

 (J. E. Tenison-Woods, writing of Queensland, Proc. Linn. Soc, N.S.W., vii, 335.) 



339. E. melanoxylon Maiden (Black Morrel). " Persistent for the greater part of 

 the trunk, usually extending to the lowest branches, thick and flaky, dark grey in colour 

 and not much furrowed. In fracture the bark has two well-defined layers, an outer 

 thick brown layer, and a very distinct inner bright yellow layer, which is much more 

 pronounced in the fresh bark than in the dry. The bark of the branches and upper 

 trunk is a silvery brown and the bark is ribbony at the line of demarcation between 

 the two classes of bark. The adult trees have, as a rule, a darker persistent bark than 

 the Red Morrel (E. longicomis), but the younger trees may be detected by the silvery- 

 brown appearance of the smooth portions. From E. gracilis its absence of any green 

 colour in the smooth portions makes it distinct to the bushman." (C. A. Gardner.) 



25. E. microcorys F.v.M. " Usually large trees, sometimes with a short thick 

 bole and large spreading branches. Bark fibrous throughout, of an inferior stringybark 

 nature, and of a dirty reddish-brown colour, rough to the small branches." (W. F. 

 Blakely and D. W. C. Shiress, Upper Clarence River.) 



123. E. miniata A. Cunn. ' Woolly-fibrous, greyish to reddish, rough and 

 persistent on the lower half of the stem, sometimes covering the whole of it ; branches 

 always white and smooth." (W. V. Fitzgerald, Kimberleys.) " Of the trunk persistent, 

 consisting of several papery layers in the young trees, becoming thicker and loosely 

 fibrous with age, the fibres short, brittle and wavy. Higher up the tree the bark is 

 flaky and papery, of a yellowish- white or grey colour (that of the lower trunk is brown). 

 Branches smooth, of a yellowish-white colour, decorticating in large thin flakes." (C. A. 

 Gardner, Kimberleys.)
