2. BROWN. 



Most of these timbers are known as " Box " of one kind or another. The colour 

 of the timber is brown, usually pale-brown, and of medium hardness and coarseness of 

 fibre, but those of E. o'chrophloia and E. Thozetiana are very hard and very dense, 

 and also very brown. They are looked upon as durable, and generally valuable. 



It is certainly sometimes not easy to make a sharp line of demarcation between 

 some members of those in Group 1 (Pale Hardwoods) and some of the present group. 



The trees producing the present group are divided between the Half-barks 

 (Hemiphloiae) and the Rough-barks (Rhytiphloise), two groups, it has already been 

 explained, which run into each other. The vast preponderance of them belong to tb 3 

 Rough-barks.
