 A dwarf Gum tree, up to 30 feet. Bark smooth in texture and ashy-grey in 

 colour, which becomes lighter in the upper branches. 



E. MEGACARPA F.V.M. 



A medium-sized gouty Gum tree with stems up to 3 feet. Bark thickish, like 

 a White Gum, or perhaps like a Grey Gum (E. punctata of eastern New South Wales). 

 Timber pale-coloured, brownish near the heart ; brittle. See also page 40. 



E. STELLULATA Sieb. 



A forest tree of medium size in the Monaro (New South Wales) and Gippsland 

 (Victoria), forming a shapely tree of 50 feet in height and more, with a stem-diameter 

 of 2 or 3 feet, and with dense foliage. Sometimes it takes on a straggling habit. It 

 is a Gum, and the bark (see Part V, p. 129) often coloured green, olive-green, or lead-

 A typical White or Cabbage Gum. Though not a very tall tree, it has a good 

 trunk, though often scrambling; branches brittle. An entirely smooth bark without 

 flakes. Timber red or reddish-brown, coarse fibred. 



E. Bancroft! Maiden. 

 A tree of medium size, often crooked and gnarled, bark smooth, falling away 

 in irregular patches. Very similar in appearance to Angophora lanccolata. It may

A smooth-barked tree, the exfoliating bark coming off in irregular patches, 

 never hanging in strips. 



E. dealbata A. Cunn. 



A scraggy, small tree, never quite a Gum, but with the bark falling from the 

 greater part of the trunk and branches in flakes or small ribbons. Often (particularly 

 north and north-west of New South Wales) it is of a Mallee habit. 



E. Drummondii F.v.M. 

 A White Gum, small in size, with the usual flaky-deciduous bark. 



E. fasciculosa F.v.M. 

 A White Gum of medium size, the bark somewhat flaky at the butt. Timber
