SOME IRONBARKS OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 419 



rings; the ray parenchyma is mostly single or double cells 

 wide and more cells higher than in E. Fergusoni, with a 

 deposit in most of them. 



General. — The timber of this tree is quite distinct from 

 the White or Grey Ironbark of this paper, and the two 

 could not correctly be placed under one species, especially 

 in a public collection of timbers such as obtains in the 

 Technological Museum. No tradesman or timber expert 

 would pass them as one and the same wood, and it was 

 these particular differences that influenced me to separate 

 these trees as distinct. The bark is not so deeply furrowed 

 nor quite so thick as in most ironbarks, but has a fair 

 amount of kino scattered throughout its structure; the 

 inner layer is also thinner for so large a tree. It is also 

 easy of determination in herbarium material, and the whole 

 plant being coarser than E. paniculata, and the fruits are 

 quite characteristic, the chief feature being the rim which 

 frequently flattens in pressed specimens. 



It is difficult to trace references to this tree, but it is 

 just possible, that, owing to its paniculate inflorescence, it 

 may have been confounded with E. paniculata, and perhaps 

 Dr. Woolls when first recording the colour of the wood of 

 E. paniculata as Red may have had material of this species, 

 vide remarks by J. H. Maiden under E. paniculata. 



This species differs from its type E. paniculata, princi- 

 pally in the physical properties of its timbers, such as colour 

 and texture, also in inflorescence, shape of fruits and nature 

 of bark, and the same remarks apply to other ironbarks. 

 In botanical sequence it may follow E. Fergusoni^ although 

 the organs differ considerably from that species, as well as 

 from the other ironbarks. 



This species is named after Mr. James Nangle, f.r.a.s., 

 Superintendent of Technical Education, who was the first 

 to introduce here the standard sizes for tested timber
