Vernacular names. — One of the " White or Cabbage Gums," but 
not to be confused with E. hcemastoma, var. micrantha, which 
goes by the same names. Its usual name with us is " White 
Gum," though it is very frequently called " Cabbage Gum " also. 
The names "Flooded Gum" and "Peppermint" under which this 
species is known in Victoria (B. Fl.) would not appear to be in 
use in this colony. As regards the latter name, we suggest that 
it has arisen from the fact that a form of E. amygdalina growing 
in the south-eastern part of the colony resembles E. coriacea in 
fruits and perhaps in other respects. We have evidence pointing 
in this direction. 
The species goes under the name of " Weeping Gum " in Tas- 
mania, owing to its scrambling habit; the name is also in use at 
Uralla, N.S.W. At Glen Innes it is locally known as "Tumble- 
down Gum," also by reason of its aspect. 
" Glassy Gum " is a name in use at Guyra, on account of the 
vitreous appearance of the bark. 
" White Sally " is a name in use at Queanbeyan. 
Seedling leaves. — Broader than the mature leaves; more or less 
ovate. 
Mature leaves. — Coriaceous, yet often succulent, and hence eaten 
by stock. They are comparatively large, six inches being a 
common length, while five inches is perhaps under the average. 
The width is usually about inch. They are usually shiny, 
but in the coldest districts often glaucous. The venation is as 
stated under stellulata, and in this respect not only shows affinity 
with that species but also with amygdalina, particularly through 
the variety latifolia of that species. 
Timber. — Pale coloured, full of gum veins; warps a good deal. 
Variations fr 07n type. — Following are notes on Eucalypts which 
more or less depart from the typical form of E. coriacea : — 
(a) E. coriacea becomes less glaucous in the Delegate district; 
bark scribbled like K. hcemastoma. The young leaves are larger 
and thinner than those of the type,
