In considering (a) it is to be borne in mind that, as the tropics are reached, the 

 colour of the Bloodwood bark gets toned down or lighter, so that we may have the 

 term " whitish " applied to such. 



(c) E. calophylla and E. ficifolia are provisionally put into a separate group; 

 they have pale timbers, but the barks are nearer those of (a).

E. Abergiana F.v.M. 

 A tree whose height is not certainly known, with rough bark, probably of the 

 usual flaky character. 



E. Cliftoniana W. V. Fitzgerald. 

 A tree up to 30 or 40 feet with a diameter of 1 foot. 9 Bark persistent on the 

 stem and branches, dark coloured, rough and .longitudinally furrowed. 



E. CORYMBOSA Sill. 



This is the original Australian Bloodwood. Its bark is rough, both trunk and 

 branches, with both longitudinal and transverse fissures forming flakes rather than 

 tasserse. The wood is red and fissures in it exude a reddish kino, which is so 

 abundant that it often runs down the tree, and, when freshly exuded, gives it the 

 appearance of a stream of blood. 



. E. DICHROMOPHLOIA F.V.M. 



This is a Bloodwood, and therefore with a bark more or less scaly. Mueller 

 gave the specific name because of the " top. layer (presumably the outer layer) of the 

 bark as smooth and sub-papyraceous, cinereous, slowly breaking away from the 

 interior red portion." This perhaps indicates transition between the ordinaiy 

 Bloodwood barks and the " micaceous " barks of E. miniata and E. phcenicea. It 

 doubtless has a bark similar to the tropical or deciduous bark of E. terminalis.
