The most plentiful of the Stringybarks was E. eugemoides , 
Sieb., stunted as a rule, and with narrower leaves than when 
growing under more favorable conditions K. ligustrina, DC., 
“Dwarf Stringybark,” is very similar, but it never grows larger 
than a small shrub. E. BJaxIandii, Maiden and Cambage (which 
Is almost identical with E. Baxter}, Maiden and Blakely, well 
known in the Mt. Lofty Range), is usually of moderate height but 
some large trees were seen near the Mt. Victoria township. £. 
votabilis, Maiden, was plentiful in its restricted range and was 
flowering freely, the rather large blossoms making a picturesque 
contrast with the dark green of the leaves. 
There were only two Bloodwoods; E. corymbosa, Sm., us- 
ually ratiier straggly, and E, exiviia, Schau., “Yellow Bloodwood.” 
d'his was a conspicuous tree, rarely large, with long, falcate, 
coriaceous, glaucous leaves and flaky bark of a dingy yellow 
colour. 
The three final species grow as small Shrubs. E. siricta, 
Sieb., “Dwarf Gum,” was very abundant above 2,500 feet, often 
forming thickets. Usually about 5 feet high, in one or two in- 
:stances it was noted as a small tree. E. Moorei, Maiden and 
Cambage, was only found on the plateau. Its small leaves and 
dusters of tiny sharply-pointed reddish buds give it a very 
dainty appearance. E. Baeuerleni, F.vM., grows near the base 
of the cliffs along the National Pass; it has leaves of a fresh 
green colour and distinctive buds and fruits.
