Eucalyptus tesselaris, F. v. Mueller. 
North Australia and Queensland. Furnishes a brown, rather 
elastic wood, not very hard, available for many kinds of artisans’ 
work, and particularly sought for staves and flooring. The tree 
exudes much astringent gum resin (P. O’Shanesy). Many other 
Eucalypts could have been mentioned as desirable for wood cul- 
ture, but it would have extended this enumeration beyond the 
limits assigned to it. Moreover, the quality of many kinds is 
not yet sufficiently ascertained, or not yet fully appreciated even 
by the artisans and woodmen. 
Eucryphia cordifolia, Cavanilles. 
The Muermo or Ulmo of Chili. This magnificent evergreen tree 
attains a height of over 100 feet, producing a stem of sometimes 
6 feet diameter. The flowers are much sought by bees. For 
oars and rudders the wood is preferred in Chili to any other. 
(Dr. Philippi.) We possess congeneric trees in Tasmania ( E .
