mens small kidney-shaped, opening inwards in two wide 
slits. Seed capsule sub-globose, truncate at the top, 
about \ inch in diameter, on a slender pedicel of two 
lines; mostly 4 (rarely 3 or 5) celled; rim very narrow, 
valves included. 
Distribution. — Eastern Australia from the Fort Jack- 
son district in New South Wales to the Wide Bay district 
in south-eastern Queensland. It has been recorded con- 
siderably north of this range, but I think most of these 
belong to the var. carnea. About Brisbane the trees occur 
mostly on the Brisbane schists. It does not seem to occur 
above 70 miles inland. 
Common Names. — “ Yellow Stringy bark 7 ’ is the ver- 
nacular in most common use in Queensland, In New 
South Wales “ White Mahogany” seems the name in most 
general use. 
Botanical Name. — Eucalyptus (see under No. 1) 
aemenioides from acmena, a genus of plants now included 
under Eugenia, and Greek eidos, resemblance. 
Timber. — The timber is cut and sold by Queensland 
mills as a general hardwood.

less inclined to be smooth. Young branchlets angular 
but soon becoming trete. Coppice leaves or leaves on 
young shoots ovate rotund to ovate-lanceolate, at first 
auriculate at the base, opposite and sessile, but soon be- 
coming petiolate and later alternate, a gradual transition 
from coppice to adult leaf being traceable, blade at first 
membranous but soon thick and coriaceous, up to 1 inches 
long, and 3 inches wide, in the broader leaves not much 
longer than broad, in the narrower leaves about 2{ times 
as long as broad, paler beneath but not markedly so as in 
E , aemenioides ; veins and veinlets clearly discernible, the 
main nerves rather far (mostly about J inch) apart, intra- 
marginal vein one-eighth to one-quarter inch from the 
edge. Ordinary (secondary or adult) leaves, thick-cori- 
aceous, ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate, base cuneate^
