 and J.H.M.); " On "the flats this grows into a fairly large tree. In such situations 

 one would expect to find the typical form, but it does not appear to exist in any part 

 of the district. It is largely used for fuel. Marrangaroo on the flats. We did not see 

 any typical E. hwmastoma at Marrangaroo. E. micrantha is very common on the hills 

 and occasionally on the flats. Considerably smaller than the coastal trees, with the 

 same branching habit from a usually irregularly-shaped short bole; 30 feet is about 

 the tallest tree met with, and 20 feet is a fair average." (W. F. Blakely and 

 Dr. E. C. Chisholm); Bathurst to Sofala via Peel and Wattle Flat, returning via
