E. Bosistoana F.V.M. 

 An upright-growing large tree, with a flaky, sub-fibrous bark growing on the 

 trunk to a varying height. The branches smooth, and often the upper part of the 

 trunk. It presents a good deal of general similarity to E. hemiphloia. The adjective 

 Yellow refers to the timber, and not to the bark, as in E. meUiodora. 



E. cinerea F.v.M. 

 A moderate sized or large tree, with a matted, persistent bark, the foliage more 

 or less glaucous. Ragged, fibrous, reddish-brown on trunk and larger limbs, then on 

 smaller linibs. coming off in strips and curling inwards, leaving creamy- white smooth 

 branchlets. 



E. HEMIPHLOIA F.V.M. 



White or Grey Box/' the species to which the name Box was first applied in 

 Australia. Erect in habit, the trunk with a grey, sub-fibrous, compact (Box-like) 

 bark, the branches smooth, or with short ribbons. 



Var. albens F.v.M. 



Grlaueousness is a character of this variety. 



Var. microcarpa Miaden. 



A medium-sized or large tree, rather erect in habit, the bark sub-fibrous, 

 rather compact, and greyish or whitish on the trunk, the limbs smooth. 



E. Howittiana F.v.M. 

 A tree attaining a height of about 100 feet, with a girth at the butt of 12 feet 

 " Bark less fissured than that of some of the Box-Eucalypts. more resembling that of 

 the Stringybark trees." 



E. Macarthuri Deane and Maiden. 

 A tall tree, of beautiful form, with a rounded head. The bark rough, somewhat 

 box-like, but very woolly, the upper branches smooth. Like E. Banksii, this might 

 be termed a Woollybutt. 



E. MELLIODORA A. Cumi. 



One of the most beautiful of our medium-sized or larger trees, because of the 

 density and grace of its pendulous foliage. Its trunk is usually somewhat crooked 

 or forks early, the bark is sub-fibrous or box-like (often somewhat ragged), varying in 

 texture and in the height to which it extends. As a rule it covers the trunk and thicker 

 branches. The cast of the bark is yellow ; the colour of the inner bark bright 

 yellow. 



E. nitens Maiden. 



A fine large Gum up to 150 feet, with a symmetrical barrel of 3 or 4- feet 

 diaunter, Rough bark about one-third of the way up, and then peeling into ribbons.
