E. PALLIDIFOLIA F.V.M. 



A crooked tree, bark white to the ground and brittle. 



E. SALMONOPHLOIA F.V.M. 



"Salmon Gum;" '"'Nankeen-coloured Gum" of the old writers. A tree up 

 to 100 feet, with a stem-diameter of 3 feet, bark smooth, shining, greyish with a purplish 

 tinge, or sometimes blotched. A very characteristic-looking bark, sometimes a little 

 rough-flaky bark at butt. Timber reddish-brown, " red with crimson in it." 



E. squamosa Deane and Maiden. 

 A medium-sized Gum, with a scrambling and drooping habit, often stunted. 

 Doubtless a depauperate or decaying species. Bark smooth or scaly, often blotched. 

 Timber deep red. 



C. Western Australian Blackbutts. — This type is essentially a " Gum," and I 

 would again remind my readers that all Gums practically have some rough, hard, flaky, 

 or ribbony bark on the butt. This class of Blackbutt is not to be confused with the 

 Blackbutt of south-western Australia (E. patens) or the more numerous Blackbutts 

 of eastern Australia, of which E. pilularis is a type. The latter are characteristic by 

 their sub-fibrous or fibrous barks, and belong to the rough-barked series. 



The true Western AustraUan Blackbutts are trees of medium size, with a diameter 

 of 2 or 3 feet, and have usually a cigar-brown timber. The following go under the 

 name of Blackbutt in Western Australia : —
