84 . Eucalyptus goniocalyx, F. v. Mueller. 
THE SPOTTED-GUM TREE. One of the White- 
gum trees ; also, one of the Blue-gum Trees and 
Bastard Box. {Sect. Leiophloicz.) 
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 likewise for 
wheelwright’s work and ship-building. The bark yields a good 
packing paper. (F. v. Mueller.) Kino from this species is largely 
available. One hundred lbs. of fresh leaves gave 16 oz. essential 
oil. 
85 . Eucalyptus graeillis, F. v. Mueller. 
{Sect. Leiophloice.) 
In the Mallee scrub. A tall shrub or small tree, with silver- 
grey smooth bark. 
86 . Eucalyptus Gunnii, J. Hooker. 
SWAMP-GUM TREE; CIDER TREE. 
On wet alluvial flats and in moist forest valleys in the southern 
and eastern regions of the colony, ascending with E. pauciflora 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 well ; large 
dimensions of straight wood are not readily obtainable. The 
fermented sap affords a beverage somewhat like cider. (F. v. M.) 
87 . Eucalyptus hemiphloia, F. v. Mueller. 
WHITE BOX or GREY BOX TREE. {Sect. Rhy - 
tiphloice.) 
Occurs on open ridges in the Ovens, Broken River, and some 
other spots. A tree attaining 60 to 80 feet, with a dull green 
persistent bark, famous for the hardness and toughness of its 
timber. The vernacular names in use for most of the Eucalypts 
are, as a rule, ill-chosen. The term Gum-Tree is particularly 
objectionable, as this tree yields kino and not gum.
