Plentiful along the foothills and to the north of Adelaide.

10. E. Blaxlandii Maiden. (E. capiteilata Sm.). “Brown

hilltops. It often grows to a big tree. 
n. E. obliqua L 'Merit. “White stringybark or Mess- 
m:ate.'’ TJiis is the main tree of our hills and is distributed over 
alJ situations within areas having a rainfall of 80 inches

in the higher altitudes from about 1,200 feet above the sea level. 
It is used for furniture, timbers for all ])urposes, and firewood. 
It grows in dense stands and is most plentiful.
