THE SPOTTED-GUM TREE. One of the White- 
gum trees ; also, one of the Hlue-gum Trees and 
Bastard Box. (Sect. Leiophloice.) 
Confined to the more fertile ranges occurring in many parts of 
the colony. A moderate-sized or even gigantic tree; bark usually 
deciduous, but sometimes persistent. Timber hard, employed 
for joists, beams, rafters, and heavy framing, as also by the 
cooper for staves. ( Jurors’ Report, 1866.) Its wood resembles 
in many respects that of E. globulus. _ (F. v. M.) Utilised

yields a good packing paper. (F. v. Mueller.) Kino from this 
species is largely available. One hundred lbs. of fresh leaves

to alpine elevations. In the lowlands a large, spreading tree; 
in the uplands, gradually reduced to shrubby growth. Wood 
hard, fairly good for many purposes of artisans, but not splitting

able. The fermented sap affords a beverage somewhat like 
cider. (F. v. M.)
