 Special attention was given to this genus. 



Domin, Dr. Karel. — " Queensland's Plant Associations (Some Problems of 

 Queensland's Botanogeography)," Journ. Roy. Soc, Qld., XXIII, 57 (1910). It is a 

 pioneering paper and very valuable, but the references to Eucalypts are scanty. They 

 include the following : — 



" The other type of forest is the very well-known open forest, with close undergrowth of grasses 

 and scattered trees, mostly of the genus Eucalyptus, known under different names as Gums, Box, Stringy- 

 bark, Ironbark, Moreton Bay Ash, Coolibah, Bloodwood," &c. (p. 65). 



" There are again very different and distinct types of open forest. In the North must be specially 

 mentioned the Eucalyptus forest with close undergrowth of high grass (as the typical form of the open 

 forest), further with plenty of Grass-trees (Xanthorrhcea)," &c. (p. 67). 



" From Jericho eastwards we find again a different type of Wattle (Acacia) scrub, very closed and 

 dense, with prevalent Acacia and Eucalyptus . . ." (p. 69). 



" Now we understand the difference between the Malayan and Australian elements, and we can 

 imagine the struggle which certainly took place, after the best and largest localities for the tropical flora 

 disappeared under the sea-level. In the southern part of Queensland there are some differences, as the 

 true Austraban type is represented in a few special forms in the vine scrub flora. I may mention, for instance, 

 the gigantic Water Gums (E. botryoides) sic, besides some other Gums as E. resinifera, in the Vine-scrubs 

 on the basaltic mountains in southern Queensland. Here the contrast is not so great . . ." (p. 72). 



White, C. T.— Abstract of Proceedings, in Proc Roy. Soc, Q., XXXIV, XV, 

 1922. He delivered a lecture entitled " The Eucalypts of the Brisbane District." 

 Between seventy and eighty occur in Queensland, and twenty-one species are to be 

 found growing within about a 10-mile radius of the city of Brisbane. The species 

 occurring about Brisbane can be classified for practical purposes into five groups : — 



1. Gums proper or smooth-barked trees, six species : — E. mieraniha (Scribbly Gum), E. tereticornis 

 (Blue Gum), E. propinqua (Grey Gum), E. Seeana (narrow-leaved Blue Gum), E. maculata (Spotted Gum), 

 and E. saligna (Flooded Gum). 



2. The Stringybarks and Mahoganies, seven species :— E. acmenioides (Yellow Stringybark), E. 

 icmenioides var. carnea (Yellow Stringybark), E. umbra, E. eugemoides (White Stringybark), E. resinifera 

 (Red Stringybark), E. Baileyiana, E. Planchoniana and E. microcorys (Tallow- wood).
