E. scoparia Maiden. 

 White Gum Pale?coloured. 



E. viminalis Labill. 

 Ribbony or White Gum. Pale pink when fresh. 



(b) Half-barks (Hemiphloiae). 



I would emphasise the point that there is not a line of absolute demarcation 

 between this section and the next (Rough-barks) so far as the timbers go. 



The members go under the name of Woolly Butt (Banksii and Macarthuri), 

 Peppermint (cinerea), while two (ovala and Yarraensis) are most commonly known as 

 Swamp Gum, eloquent testimony to their affinity with the Gums. 



E. Banksii Maiden. E. ovata Labill. 



E. cinerea F.v.M. E. Yarraensis Maiden and Cambage. 



E. Macarthuri Deane and Maiden. 



E. Banksii Maiden. 

 Woolly Butt. A good hard timber, pale-coloured, said to resemble that of 

 E. Stuartiana somewhat. 



E. CINEREA F.V.M. 



Peppermint. Reddish, inferior, not durable. 



E. Macarthuri Deane and Maiden. 

 Woolly Butt. Pale-coloured, nearly white. Does not split well, not durable. 



E. ovata Labill. 

 Swamp Gum. Pale, not durable. 



E. Yarraensis Maiden and Cambage. 

 Swamp Gum. Pale-coloured, resembling that of E. ovata. 



(c) Rough-barks (Rhytophloise). 



E. acaciceformis Deane and Maiden. E. elceophora F.v.M. 



E. aggregata Deane and Maiden. E. nova-anglica Deane and Maiden. 



E. angophoroides R. T. Baker. E. Stuartiana F.v.M. 



Most of these trees go under the name of Peppermint (acaciosj ormis , aggregata, 

 nova-anglica, Stuartiana). Three are called Apple of one kind of another, viz., ango- 

 phoroides (Apple-top Box), elceophora (Apple or Bastard Box), Stuartiana (Apple or 

 Peppermint). 



These names show a relation with the Peppermints enumerated at p. 142. 



The Australian bushman uses the words Apple and Peppermint somewhat 

 similarly. In the colder regions where the Apple-barked trees are found, he usually 

 means that the Apple has a woollier bark than the Peppermint.
