220 J. H. MAIDEN. 



(measured at four feet from the ground). Another measured 

 tree was 7 ft. 6 in. in diameter and 80 feet high (Mr. Saw). 

 It reached a height of quite 200 feet; one tree measured 

 was 45 feet round the base, 38 feet round six feet from the 

 ground, and about 50 feet to the first branch (Mr. Brock- 

 man). Known locally as "Red Tingle Tingle." 



Bark fibrous, reddish, thick, of a stringybark character, 

 but somewhat brittle, covering the trunk and branches. 



Timber. Bright red, reminding one, in that respect, of 

 the Forest Mahogany of New South Wales (E. resinifera, 

 Sm.). It is fissile and tough, and I believe it to be a most 

 valuable timber for ecouomic purposes. 



Juvenile leaves. Nearly orbicular to broadly lanceolate, 

 somewhat oblique, paler on the under side, not specially 

 thiu, venation distinct but fine, lateral veins nearly parallel, 

 intramarginal vein well removed from the edge. Oil dots 

 abundant. Average dimensions about 1 dm. long by 6 to 

 8 cm. wide. 



Mature leaves. Equally green on both sides, petiolate, 

 broadly lanceolate, acuminate, slightly curved, slightly 

 inequilateral, veins obvious, but not very conspicuous, 

 lateral veins parallel, intramarginal vein well removed from 

 the edge, well besprinkled with fine oil dots, and apparently 

 moderately rich in oil. Average size of leaves 9 x 3 to 4 cm. 



Buds and flowers not seen. 



Fruits. Almost spherical, with an average diameter of 

 8 mm. to 1 cm. with a small orifice of say 3 mm. in diameter. 

 Tips of valves well sunk below the orifice. 



Hab. Deep River, Nornalup Inlet, Bow River, Irwin's 

 Inlet, South West Australia. (The type collected by Sidney 

 Wm. Jackson). Found also on the hills along the Frank- 

 land River, where it predominates and extends about ten 

 miles up. (Inspecting Ranger H. S. Brockman, to the 

 Inspector General of Forests. W.A.)
