Practically all these timbers come from the comparatively well-watered south- 

 west. They vary a good deal in colour from the palest to a moderately dark brown, 

 and in quality from exceptionally hard, tough, and durable, such as E. cornuta (Yate) 

 and E. occidentalis (Flat-topped or Swamp Yate), to such inferior timbers as decipiens, 

 megacarpa and rudis, with a number of useful intermediate ones. 



E. cornuta Labill. 



Yate. Pale brown ; toughest of Western Australian woods, and said to be the 



strongest in Australia. 



E. decipiens Endl. 



Dull pale brown, liable to gum-veins, cracks radially, is brittle and perishable, 



and of no ascertained economic value. 



E. fcecunda Schau. 

 York Gum. Timber dark brown, hard. 



E. gomphocephala DC. 

 Tuart. Pale-coloured and of a yellowish cast. Reminds one of cladocalyx and 

 leucoxylon, but is superior in quality to both. 



E. Guilfoylei Maiden. 

 Yellow Tingle Tingle. Pale-coloured, fissile. 



E. MEGACARPA F.V.M. 



Brownish towards heart, liable to gum- veins; not durable, apparently a 



disappearing species. 



E. Mundijongensis Maiden. 



A Tuart. Pale-coloured, reminiscent of E. gompliocepliala, but not seen by me. 



E. OCCIDENTALIS Endl. 

 Flat-topped Yate. Brown, tough. 



E. patens Benth. 

 Blackbutt of the south-west. Pale brown. 



E. redunca Schau. 

 Wandoo or White Gum. E. redunca var. elata. Pale brown, drying dark brown, 

 hard, particularly tough, interlocked, heavy and durable.
