E. FERRUGINEA Scliau. 



A medium-sized tree with a rough, dark grey bark persisting all over the trunk. 

 In describing a synonym, Mueller says " the outer bark . . . separating in small 

 pieces." My note is "' E. ferruginea seems to connect with the Corymbosae through 

 E. ToreUiana." I do not know the colour of the timber, but assume that it is red, 

 like E. setosa. 



E. FoELSCHIANA F.'V.M- 



Not a large tree, usually crooked, and large leaved. There is some confusion 

 in regard to the barks of different trees, but they appear all to belong to the 

 Corymbosee, i.e., flaky barks. 



E. hjematoxylon Maiden. 



A small tree, attaining a height of 20 feet, with a trunk diameter of 18 inches. 



Much resembling E. calophylla in general appearance, but much smaller. Bark that 



of a typical Bloodwood. 



E. Hilliana Maiden. 



A broad-leaved tree of medium size, the bark somewhat tesselated or soft-scaly, 



the branches smooth. Timber rich reddish-brown. 



E. LATIFOLIA F.V.M. 



A small or medium-sized tree with the ordinary friable Bloodwood bark. 

 Timber pale red, but that probably refers to a young tree. 



E. PERFOLIATA R.Br. 



A small tree, attaining a height of 40 feet, and a diameter of 1 foot. Bark 

 persistent on stem and branches, dark grey, rough, lamellar and longitudinally fissured. 



E. PTYCHOCARPA F.V.M. 



Bark like E. terminalis to topmost branches. Trunk 15 inches in diameter. 

 Small tree, with spreading, somewhat stunted, growth. 



E. pyrophora Benth. 

 A medium-sized Bloodwood, with more or less scaly bark, and often known 

 as Desert Gum because of the interior localities it prefers, and because of the compara- 

 tively pale colour presented after the scaly portion has fallen. Timber reddish-brown. 



E. setosa Schau. 

 A low, shapely, spreading tree of 30 to 40 feet, seemingly closely related to the 

 Angophoras. Bark rough and somewhat scaly. Timber red. 



E. TERMINALIS F.V.M. 



A medium-sized tree with a scaly bark. In tropical areas the scales may be 

 daoiduous, giving the tree a pale-coloured and comparatively smooth appearance, so 

 that it may go under the name " White-stemmed Gum tree." It would appear 

 that the scales subsequently develop on such trees Compare E. dichromophloia and 

 E pyrophora.
