FOR VICTORIAN INDUSTRIAL CULTURE.

Eucalyptus paniculata, Sinitli. 



The White Ironbavk-tree of New South Wales. All the 

 trees of this series a-re deserving of cultivation, as their 

 wood, though always excellent, is far from alike, and that 

 of each species preferred for special purposes of the artisan. 



Eucalyptus phoenicea, F. v. Mueller. 



Carpentaria and Arnhem's Land. Of the quality of the 

 timber hardly anything is known, but the brilliancy of its 

 scarlet flowers recommends this species to a place in any 

 forest or garden-plantation. For the same reason also 

 E. miniata, from North Australia, and E. ficifolia, from 

 South- West Australia, should be brought extensively under 

 cultivation. 



Eucalyptus pilularis, Smith. 



The Black-butt tree of South Queensland, New South Wales 

 and Gipps Land. One of the best timber-yielding trees 

 about Sydney, of rather rapid growtli (Rev. Dr. Wool is). It 

 is much used for flooring-boards. 



Eucalyptus platypliylla, F. v. Mueller. 



Queensland. Regarded by the Rev. Julian Tenison Woods 

 as one of the best of shade-trees, and seen to produce leaves 

 sometimes a foot and a half long and a foot wide. This tree is 

 available for open exposed localities, where trees from deep 

 forest-valleys would not thrive. 



Eucalyptus polyanthemos, Schauer. 



East Australia. A tree up to 150 feet high, which furnishes 

 an extremely hard and lasting timber, in great demand for 

 mining purposes, also for wheelwright's work; for fuel this 

 wood is unsurpassed. 



Eucalyptus resinifera, Smith. 



The Red Mahogany Eucalypt of South Queensland and New 

 South Wales. A superior timber-tree, according to the Rev. 

 Dr. WooUs, the wood being much prized for its strength and 

 durability. It has proved one of the best adapted for a tropi- 

 cal clime. 



Eucalyptus robust a. Smith. 



New South Wales. The timber in use for ship-building, wheel- 

 wright's work and many implements, such as mallets, &c. 



Eucalyptus rostrata, Schlechtendal.* 



The Red Gum of Victoria, South Australia and many river 

 flats in the interior of the Australian continent. Although a 

 native tree of this colony, it has been introduced into this list 

 on account of its wood being of extraordinary endurance 

 undergi'ound, and for this reason so highly valued for fence-
