196. E. setosa Schauer. " Thick, light, from an old stunted tree." (C. E. F. 

 Allen, No. 676). North of Alice Springs, Northern Territory. 



55. E. Smithii R. T. Baker. See under E. Macarthuri. 



179. E. spathulata Hook. f. Rough dark butt, branches clean and erect. 

 Nyabing, W.A. (F. M. C. Schock). Smooth, thin, brown and shining, much like that 

 of E. salubris. A young tree has a silvery-grey bark. Dumbleyung (C. A. Gardner). 

 Light red, brownish or yellowish red, or a warm brown, with a few silver patches of 

 decorticating bark. Harrismith (C. A. Gardner). " Contains 26 per cent, tans, 

 commonly known as ' Swamp Mallet,' grows from 20 to 30 feet high. It bears a thin 

 bark, resembling Mallet, and strips easily. It is not very common." (H. Salt.) 



158. E. tereticornis Sm. ' Varies from very smooth to rough and flaky. Some 

 trees show a decided persistent flaky bark at the base, while others are flaky to the 

 first branch. When smooth it is marked with neutral colours of pale green, glaucous 

 and white, which blend imperceptibly into each other." (W. F., Blakely and D. W. C- 

 Shiress, Upper Clarence River.) 



216. E. terminalis. F.v.M. " Persistent throughout, rough and of a greyish 

 colour, short in fibre, fairly dense. Used by the natives for shelters, and very durable." 

 (C. A. Gardner, Kimberleys.) 



254. E, tetrodonta F.v.M. " Bark grey, fairly rough, persistent, very stringy." 

 (The same.) 



200. E. torquata Lueh. " Contains 17 per cent, tans, is the so-called ' Gold-fields 

 Flowering Gum,' grows 15 to 20 feet high, and bears a bark ^-inch thick, which is some- 

 what difficult to strip. It is found scattered throughout the gold-fields in small clumps. 

 The tannin present penetrates hide fairly rapidly, giving a soft, tough leather." (H. Salt.) 



210. E. transcontinentalis Maiden. " Locally known as a bastard Morrel on 

 account of its bark, which is fibrous on the lower trunk to a height of 6 to 10 feet. The 

 bark is, however, not a true Morrel bark since it is not fissured, but almost smooth 

 externally." (C. A. Gardner, Westonia, W.A.) 



100. E. urnigera Hook. " Smooth and usually blotched with red or brown." 

 (L. Rodway.) 



249. E. Websteriana Maiden. Thin and tough, and very like that of E. Ewartiana 

 (see Part L, p. 330) in general appearance. E. cruris has a similar bark, making three 

 peculiar ones, which closely resemble each other. 



It would be desirable to describe anomalous barks such as these (and indeed 

 most barks, especially Gums) at various seasons.
