The juvenile foliage (suckers) of E. diversicolor appear to be 
more orbicular 
The mature foliage of the two species is very similar. 
The buds of E. diversicolor are less angular and the oper- 
culum is usually more conical. 
The fruits of E. diversicolor are less pear-shaped, there being 
a sharp accentuation between the fruit proper and the distinct 
pedicel. When unripe there is a distinct rim and a tendency to 
be urceolate which 1 have not noticed in E. Guilfoylei. 
2. With E. patens : — 
The affinities of these two species is close, so far as herbarium 
specimens are concerned. 
The juvenile foliage of E. patens has the marginal rim further 
removed from the edge and the lateral veins more prominent 
and looped. The juvenile leaves of E. patens are sessile and 
even stem clasping. Those of the Tingle Tingle have a fairly 
long petiole, and the lamina tapers towards the petiole 
The mature foliage is not very dissimilar at first sight. The 
venation of E. patens is more spreading (?), the buds less angular, 
the opercula more pointed and the fruits larger, more spheroidal, 
not angled, and sharply accentuated from the short pedicels. 
The bark of E, patens is softer and less fibrous, and the 
timber appears to be paler, softer, less fissile, and heavier. 
The bark of Blackbutt (E. patens ) may be described as fol- 
lows : — 
Rough bark all over stem and branches, soft, thick, greyish 
black, much resembling that known as Woolly-butt in the Eastern 
States. 
E. Guilfoylei has been described as resembling the Jarrah 
in general appearance, but the bark of the Jarrah is less rough. 
“ -r " This tree (Tingle Tingle) is in appearance very like the White Mahogany 
(E. aemenioides, Schauer. — J. H. M. i of New South Wales. The tree is 
sometimes about four feet in diameter, the average is two to three feet ; the 
height over a hundred feet. The timber is good and durable, splits well, is 
used for palings and fencing, is sawn up for house building purposes, and 
should make good railway sleepers It grows in rich red loamy soil in the 
Karri hills, where it is fairly plentiful, at Denmark, Western Australia. It is 
entirely a different tree from the Karri.” — Andrew Murphy and Louis Dilion. 
Mr. Andrew Murphy, of Woy Woy, New South Wales, 
first drew my attention to this tree in 1905, he having received 
seed from Western Australia I have been trying for five years 
to get flowers to examine the anthers, but have not succeeded yet. 
When recently in Western Australia, I found the tree not 
in flower, and appealed to the Surveyor-General (Mr. Harry F. 
Johnston) for information. He gave me a copy of the following 
report by Mr. H. S. Brockman, Inspecting Ranger, to the In- 
spector-General of Forests : — 
“ In reply to your letter re the Tingle Tingle forest I met with on my trip 
of inspection to the Frankland River.
