iim[)els in the upper axils, sometimes forming a short 
teiT.;inal intlorescence, ])e(luncles about J-iueh long. Calyx 
tube turbinate about j-inch long, tapering at the base to 
a distinct pedicel of variable length (2 to b lines) ; oper- 
culum rounded, about 1 line high, Avith a small apicudate 
a])ex. Stamens 2 to 2 lines long, anthers small, the cells 
parallel, opening by longitudinal slits. Seed-capsules 
sub-globose or broadly urn-shaped, ^-irich or slightly more 
in diameter, 8-celled, the valves very slightly protruding. 
Distribution: Eastern Queensland and Xorthern New 
South Wales. It is very common in the Eight-mile Plains 
area, in the neighbonrhood of Brisbane (Sunnybank, Mt. 
Gravatt, Kuraby, etc.). In Queensland it extends as far 
north and inland as Eidsvold (Burnett District) and in 
New South Wales as far south as the (darence River. 
Botanical Name : Eucalyiitus (see under No. 1), 
Baileyana, in honour of F. M. Bailey, for many years 
Government Botanist of Queensland, and who Avas the 
to collect specimens of this ])articular species. 
Common Names: “Black stringybark’^ and “Rough 
stringybark^' are names sometimes given to the trees. 
“Bastard Ironbark'’ is a name given by Maiden as in 
use on the Clarence River. 
Timber. — The tirnbei* is not sawn so far as I know, 
but is used, split for fences, etc., where the trees occur. 
The larger trees are often faulty. 
Botanical Reference. — Eucaly[)tus Bailey ana Ferd. 
A'on Mueller in Fragmenta Phytograpliite Australia?, XI. 
87. 1878. 
Note on the Botany of the Species: Maiden, in his 
Forest Flora of Ncav South Wales, Vol. I V., p. 71, iminted 
out that Mueller in his original description “mixed up 
tAA'o trees under the one name/’ and that his figure in 
“Euealyptographia'' is a composite one of E. Baileyana 
and E. eugenioides (this series No. 12). He then goes on 
to re-describe the species. Tlie co-tyjie material, consisting 
of ])art of the original gathering is in the “Queensland 
Herbarium, “ and there is no doubt that the flowering 
Specimens are those of E. eugenioides; the two trees grow 
alongside one another in the ty])e locality.
