1. E. Planchoniana (after Dr. J. E. Planchon), E. r. M. Fragm. xi. 48 ; 
Eucalypt. Dec. 4. A tall tree, stem diameter attaining 8ft., the bark fibrous and 
persistent, head of foliage dense. Leaves scattered, falcate-lanceolate, 4 to Gin. 
long, f to lin. or more broad, parallel nerves somewhat distant, joining the 
marginal vein which is rather distant from the edge. Petioles 6 to 12 lines long. 
Peduncles as long or longer than the petioles, compressed, axillary, each with a

Style rather long ; stigma not dilated. Fruit 8 to 12 lines long and scarcely less 
wide, globose-ovate with a truncate top, 3 or 4-celled, streaked with angular lines 
or ribs. Capsule deeply sunk. Seeds angular, 1 to 11 line long. 
Hab.: Eight-mile Plains, south of Brisbane. 
Gum contains 68% of tannin and 6-4% of metarabin. — Lauterer. 
Wood of a grev colour, hard and heavy ; useful for house-building. — Hailey's Cat. Ql. Woods

2. E. Baileyana (after F. M. Bailey), F. v. M . Fragm. xi. 37 ; Eucalypt. 
Dec. 3. Rough Stringybark. A tall tree with a very rough, persistent, fibrous 
bark, the inner yellowish and extremely tough. Stem diameter attaining to 4ft. 
Branchlets angular towards the end. Leaves scattered, of somewhat thin con- 
sistence, falcate-lanceolate, 3 to Sin. long, J to lin. broad, somewhat shining, 
green on both sides, oil dots copious, the parallel lateral nerves moderately patent, 
the marginal vein rather distant from the edge. Peduncles 6 to 12 lines long, 
lateral, slightly compressed, bearing from 7 to 10 flowers in each umbel. 
Pedicels short, more prominent under the fruit. Flowers crowded ; buds 
cvlindrical-clavate. Stamens all fertile, inflexed before expansion. Anthers 
broadly cordate, opening by divergent slits. Stigma not dilated. Fruit globose- 
urceolate, S to 7 lines long and broad, brown, roughly striate, 3-celled, valves 
scarcely exserted. Seeds oblong, rather large. 
Hab : Eight-mile Plains, near Brisbane. 
Wood of a light-grey colour, very tough ; suitable for tool-handles and other purposes where 
toughness is required. The inner bark yields a strong fibre. — Bailey’s Cat. Ql. Woods So. 201.
