Gulgong (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman). In swampy or low-lying country, rarely 
on hills; sometimes known as "Bastard Box." With broader leaves than those of 
the Dubbo trees; the juvenile leaves identical with those of the coast form, even if 
not quite so broad. The stems of the suckers are yellow, turning red later. The tree 
has a glaucous cast of foliage like E. polyanthemos ; the surrounding trees of E. 
hemiphloia F.v.M. var. microcarpa Maiden are glabrous. Known locally as " Fuzzy 
Box," or " Bastard Box," with rough bark up to the branchlets. The fuzziness or 
wooliness of the bark is a useful diagnostic character in this species. The timber is 
hard to cut, but more chippy and short-grained (brittle) than E. hemiphloia. It is 
locally esteemed as a durable timber and a valuable firewood. The bark and timber 
appear to be in no way different from those of the coast or typical form.
