VI. FORESTRY AND TIMBER. 
There is so little of this species growing that it does not 
form a forest but is merely ot local occurrence in the stnng}^DarK 
'(E. obliqua) and yellow gum {IE. leucoxylon) torestsv. u is 
often in a pure stand but its extent is extremely limited on account 
lie|of its wet habitat. 
The timber is light in colour and of fairly close gram out 
is not regarded as a first class article. It is a useful timber ana 
and is used in constructional work where it is more abundant.

The candlebark is found in the higher parts of the Mt. Lofty 
Range and besides being observed at Stirling, it is also found 
at Aldgate, Crafers, Mylor, Yantaringa, Bridgewater, Amblesidc 
and Upper Sturt. It is confined to the altitude between 1300 it. 
to 2300 ft above sea level. 
The localities given by Alaiden (S) from specimens obtained 
by Mr. Walter GUI are: Kuitpo, near Willunga; near Ambleside 
Railway station and other places on the Onkaparinga River 
and Balhannah. St. Vincent's Gulf (a very indefinite locality) 
and Aldgate are also recorded. 
It has a limited range in this State because there are no 
extensive mountains above 1300 ft. with a rainfall of 40 incties 
per annum.
