South. Corowa (G. H. Wiburcl), " Bark fibrous, persistent up to branches, 
then whitish, about 50 feet high. Flowers creamy white." Near Albury (Rev. J. 
W. Dwyer). 
' Bed-Box." Small trees of medium size, 40-50 feet high, bark ribbony, or 
coming off in flakes, leaving a mottled patchy stem of red and grey. Foliage varying 
in size and shape. A most changeable tree. Timber .spoken of as first-class, but

Tumberumba (Forester Taylor ; "W. Forsyth). " Red Box," " Hound Leaf 
Gum," "Red Mahogany," Kyamba, Wagga district (Forester Taylor). 
" Red Box," Wagga Wagga district (W. Orr). Mr. Forester Taylor has the 
following note on some other specimens : " Red or round shining leaf Box. Yields 
a very useful timber of a dark red colour. The only similarity between this and 
Bimbil (E. populifolid) is the roundish shiny leaves, which glisten in the sun." 
Personally I have never noticed shining, glistening leaves, though in E, populifolia 
this is common enough. 
"Round-leaf Gum," Tumut (W. S. Campbell). Tumut (H. Deane). Mr. 
Deane has the following note : " Deciduous, smooth bark : var. E. polyanthema. 
Very like the Mudgee Slaty Gum. Same as Red Box from Qucanbeyan apparently." 
" Round-leaf Gum," Tumut (W. W. Froggatt). Some of the leaves tending 
to lanceolate. The fruits shiny, and showing the cracked appearance at the orifice 
common in the species. " Red Box," Gilmore-road, Tumut (R. H. Cambage).

Ban-in juck, near river (E. Cheel). 
"Red Box," Gum-tree Bark, slightly flaky at base. Burrinjuck (R. H. 
Cambage). 
"Red Box" (" Slaty Gum"), Queanbeyan (H. Deanc). In fruit, otherwise 
not to be distinguished from the Bombala specimen. Fruits narrow, tapering at 
orifice. 
Murrumbidgee district. So glaucous as to be called " White Box " (J. Duff). 
" Red Box " is a most durable timber, and is extensively used for fencing, 
bridge building, railway sleepers, and wheelwrights' work. It is almost invariably 
found in company with Ironbark, and in some parts of my district there is a
