E. Boormani Deane and Maiden. 

 Pale reddish brown. Hard, tough, very durable. 



E. hybrida Maiden. 

 Pale-coloured, hard, interlocked. 



5. BLOODWOODS. 



They are liable to shell and to contain much kino. Geologically they are reputed 

 to be the oldest of the Eucalypts, and hence to include some of the least vigorous species 

 and, therefore, timbers.

Some of the timbers in this section are described as reddish-brown. They are, 

 however, deep coloured and more or less red. It may be that we have a group of inter- 

 mediates, reddish-brown ; on the other hand, I have seen so few timbers of this class, 

 that I am inclined to think that they are a faded or oxidised form of the definitely red 

 timbers, and, until further evidence is available, I think they should be looked upon as 

 Red Bloodwoods. At the same time, I have followed my usual practice of not altering 

 original notes as to colour, &c. 



The red timbers are especially durable. It is very interesting to find that the 

 timber of E. hcematoxylon is red, while the colour of that of E. calophylla and E. ficifolia, 

 the only other sub-tropical Western Australian species, is pale. 



E. Abergiana F.v.M. 

 " Reddish." I have not seen a specimen. 



E. Cliftoniana W. V. Fitzgerald. 

 " Red, tough and hard."

E. DICHROMOPHLOIA F.V.M. 



Deep red. 



Reddish brown. 



E. Foelscheana F.v.M. 

 Red, apparently not a large tree. 



E. GRANDIFOLIA R.Br. 



Reddish brown.
