 A large shrub, or small pendulous, willow-like tree, attaining a height of 30-50 

 feet, forming a single stem, or stooling from the ground. Bark dark, box -like, or hard 

 and scaly on trunk, branches smooth. Timber hard and heavy, deep red when freshly 

 cut, drying browner. 



E. Behriana F.v.M. 



A tall shrub or small tree up to 20-30 feet and more, with one or two dozen 

 stems of 3 to 4 inches in diameter springing from one root. The bark always smooth 

 and commonly of a dark, oily-looking green. 



E. calycogona Turcz. 

 Up to 25 or 30 feet, with a smooth bark. At Wedderburn (Victoria), 25-30 feet, 

 usually with only one stem, and a smooth greyish bark very similar in colour to 

 E. fruticetorum (F. W. Wakefield). Speaking of Pinnaroo, Mr. J. M. Black describes 

 this Mallee as 16 to over 30 feet high and 20-24 inches in diameter in cases where the 

 trees have been cut down. Inner bark smooth and pale grey, outer bark brown, rough 

 and peeling. Near the Ninety-mile Desert it flowers as a Whipstick Mallee under 

 10 feet high. 



E. CNEORIFOLIA DC. 



A Mallee confined to Kangaroo Island, South Australia, where it is known as 

 : ' Narrow-leaf." In some places they may be a foot in diameter, but usually the trunks 

 are only as thick as a man's arm, and forming an impenetrable scrub. Where it forms 

 a single stem, it may attain a height of 40 feet with a white stem with a more or less 

 box-scaly roughness (see J. ELM. in Journ. Roy. Soc. S.A., xxxii, 279).
