Eucalyptus paniculata, Smith. 
The White Iron-bark tree of New South Wales. All the trees of 
this series are deserving of cultivation, as their wood, though 
always excellent, is far from alike, and that of each species 
preferred for special purposes of the artisans. 
Eucalyptus Phcenicea, F. v. Mueller.* 
Carpentaria and Arnheim’s Land. Of the quality of the timber 
hardly anything is known, but the brilliancy of its scarlet 
flowers recommends this species to a place in any forest or garden 
plantation. For the same reason also, E. miniata, from North 
Australia, and E. ficifolia, from South-West Australia, should he 
brought extensively under cultivation. 
Eucalyptus pilularis, Smith. 
The Black-butt tree of South Queensland, New South Wales and 
Gipps Land. One of the best timber yielding trees about Sydney, 
of rather rapid growth (Rev. Dr. Woolls). It is much used for 
flooring boards. 
Eucalyptus platyphylla, F. v. Mueller. . 
Queensland. Regarded by the Rev. Julian Tenison Woods as one 
of the best of shade trees, and seen to produce leaves sometimes 
1£ foot long and 1 foot wide. This tree is available for open 
exposed localities, where trees from deep forest valleys would not 
thrive. 
Eucalyptus robusta, Smith. 
New South Wales. The timber in use for ship building, wheel- 
wrights’ work and many implements, such as mallets, etc. 
Eucalyptus resinifera, Smith. 
The Red Mahogany Eucalypt of South Queensland and New 
South Wales. A superior timber tree, according to the Rev. Dr. 
Woolls, the wood being much prized for its strength and 
durability. 
Eucalyptus sideropbloia, Bentham.* 
The large leaved or red Iron-bark tree of New South Wales and 
South Queensland. According to the Rev. Dr. Woolls this 
furnishes one of the strongest and most durable timbers of New 
South Wales ; with great advantage used for railway sleepers and 
for many building purposes. It is harder even than the wood of 
E. Sideroxylon, but thus also worked with more difficulty. 
Eucalyptus tereticornis, Smith.* 
From East Queensland to Gipps Land. Closely allied to E , 
rostrata and seemingly not inferior to it in value.
