E. Clelandi Maiden. 

 A Blackbutt. A tree of medium size, bark hard-flaky or fibrous-flaky and 

 blackish at butt, the rest of the trunk and all the branches smooth. Branchlets 

 glaucous, as likewise the whole of the saplings. 



E. confluens (W.V.F.) Maiden. 

 A small tree, up to 30 feet high, with a diameter up to 1 foot. Bark 

 ''' persistent, white and smooth." By this I understand that it is mainly a smooth- 

 barked tree, but there is a certain amount of " persistent " bark on the butt. Timber 

 red to brownish-red. 



E. corrugata Luehmann. 



A tree attaining about 30 feet in height, with a smooth, ashy-grey bark. 



E. Dundasi Maiden. 

 A species but imperfectly known at present. 



E. Flocktoni^g Maiden. 

 An erect, many-stemmed shrub of 6-8 feet as originally described, but 

 Mr. C. E. Lane-Poole has kindly sent me an admirable photograph by Prof. E. H. 

 Wilson of the Arnold Arboretum, U.S.A., which shows an erect tree of 40 feet with 

 a diameter of 8 inches. Bark almost perfectly smooth, with the exception of a few 

 flakes. The colour of the timber is indicated by its local name of " Redwood." 



E. gracilis F.v.M. (the W.A. form). 

 " Snap and Rattle." Over 2 feet in diameter and up to 60 feet high. It grows 

 in divaricate clumps, but is not Mallee-like. Its timber is cigar-brown. Often it is 

 dwarf and crooked, and with the usual hard, dark-coloured bark found on the short 

 trunk of a Mallee of this size. See also " Mallee," p. 325, Part L. 



E. Griffithsii Maiden. 

 A large White Gum, attaining a trunk diameter of 2 feet in the case of the type 

 at Kalgoorlie. The bark is somewhat ribbony, box-scaly at butt. A photograph 

 at Widgiemooltha shows a tree of 60 feet high with a diameter of 2 ft. 6 in., with the 

 rough bark about 12 feet up. 



E. Houseana (W.V.F.) Maiden. 

 A tree up to 70 feet high, with a diameter up to 2\ feet, bark persistent, white 

 to greyish-white, smooth. By this I understand a White Gum, but I do not 

 understand the meaning of the word " persistent " in this case. Timber reddish. 



E. Mooreana (W.V.F.) Maiden. 

 A small, crooked tree, up to 30 feet high, glaucous all over. A White Gum 

 with reddish timber. 



E. le Souefii Maiden. 



A tree of medium size, bark flaky at the butt, the greater portion of the trunk 

 and the whole of the branches smooth. So far the type and a photograph of a tree 

 by Prof. E. H. Wilson at Widgiemooltha shows a tree of 50 feet with a diameter of 

 2 feet, with the rough bark up to the first fork, say 10 feet.
