Samples of essential oil, wood spirit, acetic acid, tar and charcoal, 
obtained from this tree, are in the Museum. Paper prepared from 
the bark of this species proves much coarser than that of Eucalyptus 
obliqua; the pulp may be either used in admixture with that for 
packing paper and pasteboard, or in the composition, (b. v. 
Mueller, in Jurors' Report .) The kino from TS. rostrata is 
preferred to that from other species as a therapeutic astringent. 
A ton of dry wood yields approximately 4 lbs. of pearlash or 
lbs. of pure potash. Weight of cubic foot of dry wood from 
53 J to 57J lbs.*

APPLE-SCENTED EUCALYPT. (Sect. Hemiphloias.) 
Occupies many moist, sandy tracts in the plains, as well as 
low ridges, extending to the western frontier. A tree of medium
