E. Normantonensis Maiden and Cambage. 

 Smill Box-trees of 10-30 feet, sometimes suggestive of a Mallee. Box-bark on 

 trunk and large branches. Upper branches sometimes smooth and greenish. 



E. ovata Labill. 

 Large trees, with rough butts, with flattish ribs of fibrous bark reminiscent of 

 Turpentine (Syncarpia laurifolia). Branches smooth, but they are rough-barked trees 

 on the whole. 



E. Pilligaensis Maiden. 

 A medium-sized tree, with whitish-grey bark and persistent, as in E. hemiphloia, 

 on the trunk and main branches. Timber pale-brownish and interlocked. Known 

 as "Narrow-leaved Box." 



E. pruinosa Schau. 

 Silver-leaved Box. A medium-sized tree, with diameter of about a foot, bark 

 persistent, grey, thin and fibrous. A tropical species. 



E. quadrangulata Deane and Maiden. 

 A tree of 80-100 feet and diameter of 2-4 feet. Very much resembles the ordinary 

 Box (hemiphloia) in general appearance, but bark more fuzzy and less soft than the 

 latter. The branches have smooth tips. 



E. Yarraensis Maiden and Cambage. 

 A medium-sized tree with woolly bark on trunk and branches. 



C. With red or reddish-brown timbers : — 

 E. bicolor A. Cunn. 

 E. Brownii Maiden and Cambage. 

 E. Cambageana Maiden. 

 E. polyanthemos Schauer. 

 E. microthecct , F. v. M. 



These five timbers are put in their present place because of their red or reddi&h- 

 brown colour. They all seem to be rightly placed in the Hemiphloiae, but additional 

 experience may show that they may be fitly placed in another Group. 



E. bicolor A. Cunn. 

 A large tree with pendulous branches, which are more or less smooth. Bark 

 dark coloured, very thick, and even furrowed like an Ironbark when old, though not 

 so hard, flaky-fibrous, sometimes even reminiscent of a Stringybark. " Cloce and 

 even, resembling a typical Grey Box in younger trees." Timber red, rarely reddish- 

 brown. 



E. Brownii Maiden and Cambage. 



A medium-sized Box-tree, about 40 feet high, erect rather than drooping, with 

 hiri, thin fliky Bjx-bark on the trunk and large branches, the ultimate branchlets 

 smooth. Timber dark red in colour.
