6. E. rostrata (River Red Gum). 
It also produces pollen in great quantities, and is therefore exceedingly valuable 
in Yellow Box country, as the pollen not only keeps the bees going in brood rearing, 
but also enables them to lay in a good store for a time of scarcity, which not 
infrequently follows. 
7. E. sideroxylon (Red Ironbark). 
No pollen is gathered from the blossom. 
NON-EUCALYPTS. 
Following is a list of some of the profuse bloomers (non-Eucalypts), already 
figured in this work : 
Acacia Baileyana (Cootamundra Wattle). 
Acacia decurrens (Green and Black Wattle). 
Acacia pycna-ntha (South Australian Golden Wattle). 
Angophora lanceolata (Smooth-barked Apple). 
All the Angophoras are said to be useful bee-plants, yielding large quantities of 
honey of excellent flavour and colour (Foresters Rotton, Picton, and Deverell, Glen 
Innes). Other foresters speak highly of it. 
Atalaya hemiglauca (Western Whitewood). 
Mr. Froggatt tells me that this profuse flowerer will always be an important 
plant in the west for any bee-keeper. He informs me that it is specially attractive 
to the native bees ; it is a perfect collecting ground for them. 
Banksias (Honeysuckles). 
See notes under B. inlegrifolia (White Honeysuckle). 
Callicoma serratifolia (the original Black Wattle). 
One of the best plants in the Gosford district for honey, both as regards quality 
and quantity (Mr. Gringle). Not figured in the " Forest Flora of New South Wales " 
but in " Illustrated Flowering Plants and Ferns " (Maiden and Campbell). 
Flind-ersin (Teak and allies). 
Grevillea robusta (Silky Oak). 
Grevittea striata (Western Beef wood). 
Jucksonia scoparia (Dogwood). 
Yields honey bad in taste and smell (Forester Martin, Gosford). Not in "Forest 
Flora."
