188. E. confluens (W.V.F.) Maiden. " Brownish, tough and hard." (W. V. 

 Fitzgerald.) 



334. E. conglobata (R.Br.) Maiden. Pale brown, hard and dense. Grasspatch 

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



205. E. corymbosa Sm. " Has a good reputation as being one of the best timbers 

 for fencing purposes, since it is not attacked by white ants, and it is also more fire-resistant 

 than any other timber in the Upper Clarence district, N.S.W." (W. F. Blakely.) 



69. E. decipiens Endl. Mr. Bernard R. Lucas, 1921, sent me the reddest wood 

 I have ever seen in the species from Rosamel, 13 miles from Bunbury, W.A. 



14. E. dives Schauer. " Broad-leaved Peppermint." " Not used for mill timber 

 to any great extent, as it grows somewhat stunted up to about 5 feet in girth and 50 feet 

 high. Is considered a good fencing timber, lasting well in and out of the ground." 

 (T. H. Williams, Queanbeyan district, N.S.W., on the range towards the coast, at an 

 elevation of about 3,000 feet.) 



79. E. doratoxylon F.v.M. " Timber pale and strong." Mount Toolbrunup, 

 Stirling Range (C. A. Gardner). 



117. E. erythronema Turcz. "Reddish, rather brittle." (W. V. Fitzgerald.) 



5. E. foecunda Schauer. " Dark brown, hard, used for wheelwright's work — 

 naves, felloes, spokes." (Percy Murphy, Goomalling.) 



224. E. Foelscheana F.v.M. " Red, and the tree exudes quantities of an 

 extremely astringent deep red gum which dries in large lumps." (C. A. Gardner, 

 Kimberleys.) 



160. E. gigantea Hook. " On page 252, Part XLVIII, there is a reference to 

 E. gigantea at Buddong, as follows : — ' A noteworthy feature is that trees evidently 

 well past maturity are sound to the heart and absolutely free from disease.' This 

 quite bears out my observations in connection with the Victorian tree, which is 

 very rarely pipy or hollow. I have seen logs of Avell matured trees felled for milling, 

 3| and 4 feet in diameter, absolutely sound at heart, and this seemed to be characteristic 

 of this timber generally. Not only was there an absence of any sign of pipe, but the 

 wood was thoroughly sound and useable right through the heart. This soundness of 

 heart wood in a Eucalypt was so remarkable as to arrest attention." (Harry Hopkins, 

 Bairnsdale, Victoria.) 



101. E. goniocalyx F.v.M. Sold as "Yellow Box" and "Mountain Box," 

 Tantawanglo Mountain, Cathcart, N.S.W. (W. A. W. de Beuzeville).
