NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 501 
Oaptain Lort Stokes in his well-known work speaks of 
the York Gum as abundant in York on good soil, and adds 
that the native name is “‘To-art.’’ Just about the same 
time, that is to say, at the end of the thirties, Drummond 
writes to Sir J. D. Hooker in the London Journal of Botany 
ii, 359, as follows:—*‘The Hucalyptus, found on the sandy 
loam, is called by the settlers York Gum, by the natives 
Doatta; they use the bark of the root as food in the dry 
‘season, chewing it along with the gum of the Manna (The 
Manna is an Acacia which produces a large quantity of 
gum in the dry season. Common in the valley of the Avon. 
Acacia microcarpa).”’ 
I have no doubt in my mind that ‘‘Doatta,”’ ‘‘To-art,”’ 
and *“‘Tuart’’ were intended by the blacks for the same 
class of tree. Perhaps they gave the name originally to 
the York Gum, and afterwards the white man fixed it on 
to the modern ‘‘Tuart.’’

This is the “‘ Flooded Gum”’ of coastal New South Wales 
and Queensland, referred to also in my ‘‘ Forest Flora of 
New South Wales,” i, 79. I have come to the conclusion 
that it is worthy of specific rank, and although the original 
description is very imperfect according to modern standards, 
the fuller descriptions by Messrs. Baker and Smith and 
myself leave no doubt as to the identity of the species. It 
occasionally goes under the name of “Blue Gum.”’ I have 
a brief note as to distribution in this Journal, LI, p. 456.
