good material for packing paper and pasteboard, and lias yielded, 
according to the published researches of Baron von Mueller and

105. Eucalyptus teretieornis, Smith . 
Variously called GREY GUM-TREE, BLUE GUM- 
TREE, FLOODED GUM-TREE, RED GUM- 
TREE. [Sect, Leiophloice.) 
Occurring on Snowy River, Mitchell River, and elsewhere in 
East Gippsland. A tall tree with smooth whitish or ash- coloured 
bark, shedding in thin layers. This wood is prized in some dis- 
tricts more than others, but when Xronbark cannot be procured 
it is always considered suitable for rails and posts, as well as for 
fuel. (Woolls.) An excellent timber, much used for plough- 
beams, poles and shafts for drays and carts, spokes of wheels, as 
well as in ship-building. (Moore.) This species is very closely 
allied to E. rostrata .

oil by distillation. 
107. Eucalyptus viminalis, Ldbillardiere. 
THE MANNA GUM-TREE, DROOPING GUM ; 
called WHITE GUM-TREE. (Sect. Leiophloice.) 
A middle-sized tree, scattered extensively over rather open 
grassy ridges and plains, impressing on them often a park- like 
appearance ; in moist forest valleys attaining an enormous height. 
Outer bark frequently rough and deciduous. The wood is not 
much esteemed. Specific gravity of timber has been stated as 
0*685 ; 100 lbs. of fresh leaves yielded only 5 1-7 th drachms 
essential oil. A sample of kino from this species will be found 
in the Museum. A ton of dry wood yields about 3^ lbs. of 
crude potash or 1| lbs. of pure potash. Weight of cubic foot of 
dry wood, about 43 lbs.
