182. E. occidentalis Endl. With reference to my remark at Part XXXVI, p. 146, 

 as to E. accedens and E. occidentalis having a similar percentage (45) of tannin, Mr. W. 

 V. Fitzgerald writes : " I personally obtained samples of bark from trees of both species 

 which were growing together and they were tested for the information of the Royal 

 Commission on Forestry, of which I was a member at that time, and I do not think 

 the analyst made a mistake." 



" Known as ' Swamp Yate ' or ' Black Mallet,' and contains from 20 to 26 

 per cent. tans. This tree grows to 50 feet high, carrying a bark of about |-inch thickness. 

 It is found in clumps in swamps and other low-lying places in the south." (H. Salt.) 



73. E. oleosa F.v.M. " For a height of 8 to 12 feet persistent, close, light grey, 

 more tessellated than in the other Morrels, and never very thick. Bark of the upper 

 portions smooth, and a light rich-brown in colour streaked with grey, decorticating 

 in long fibrous strips which adhere at their base, where a collar of ribbony bark marks 

 the junction of the two kinds of bark, The bark of the trunk in fracture has an outer 

 light brown layer and a light yellowish inner layer, which, however, is never an intense 

 yellow like that of Nos. 1753-1764 (E. melanoxylon).'' (C. A. Gardner, Coolgardie- 

 Widgiemooltha. ) 



72. E. oligantha Schauer. " Greyish, thin, smooth." (W. V. Fitzgerald MSS.) 



171. E. pachyloma Benth. Dull brown, blotched with grey, but smooth. 

 Stirling Range (C. A. Gardner). 



192. E. papuana. White-barked Gum, in high ground. Cloncurry, North 

 Queensland (Capt. S. A. White, No. 228). 



138. E. Perriniana F.v.M. " Generally deciduous, sometimes persistent close 

 to ground. Colour a browny-green, very like the clean bark of the Black Sally 

 (E. stellulata), sometimes a faint red tinge is present, more like E. rubida. At a glance 

 the trunk could be mistaken for E. stellulata. Never white-barked like Snow Gum 

 (E. coriacea)" Lobb's Hole, Kiandra district, N.S.W. (W. A. W. de Beuzeville.) 



243. E. perfoliate R.Br. : ' Persistent, fibrous, brownish-grey and rough." 

 (C. A. Gardner, Kimberleys.) 



1. E. pilularis Sm. " Tall half -barked trees 50 to over 100 feet high, usually 

 straight and well proportioned. Bark on the lower portion of the trunk peppermint- 

 like, upper portion and large branches smooth, greenish-white, or very pale-green 

 splashed with streaks of white, on some trees the white predominating ; on the smaller 

 branches usually decorticating in long narrow strips, and semi-persistent in the forks 

 of the branches where it often accumulates in large quantities. On very old trees 

 the bark is persistent for a short distance below the forks, somewhat similar to the 

 base, but more of a flaky nature." (W. F. Blakely and D. W. C. Shiress, Upper Clarence 

 River, N.S.W., August, 1922.)
