Aboriginal Name. The late P. O'Shanesy, Kockhampton district, Queens- 
land, gives the aboriginal name as " Ghallgurria " or " Gallgurrie." "Wonkaia" is 
the native name at Port Curtis (Hedley). It was called " Corang" by the aborigines 
of the Nogoa River, Queensland. Dr. Shirley gives me the name " Woonara" as in use 
by the Koolaburra tribe, between Taron;eo and Nanango, Southern Queensland, in 
Proc. Roy. Soc. Q., xii, 7. 
Synonyms. 1- E. viminalis Hook., non Labill. 
2. E. Hookeri F.v.M. 
1. E. viminalis Hook., non Labill., in Mitchell's Journ. Trop. Austral., 157 (1846). 
Following is a translation of the original : 
Leaves alternate, glaucous, linear-lanceolate, with short, thin petioles, somewhat 
falcate, acuminate at both ends, reticulately veined, the lateral nerves near the margin, 
the racemes few-flowered and axillary, the calyx turbinate and narrowed into a short 
pedicel . . . A new Eucalyptus, which casts its bark in small angular pieces. . . 
I have seen a specimen of the type; it bore the following label : 
" May 9, 1846. No. 146. Camp XIV. Sub-tropical New Holland. Lieut.-Col. 
Sir T. L. Mitchell. E, viminalis Hooker. 138. Casts its bark in small angular pieces." 
This is the first reference to the tessellated appearance of the bark. 
2. E. Hookeri F.v.M. 
Following is the original reference in Journ. Linn. Soc., iii (1859), 90 : 
Eucalyptus bicolor A. Cunn. To this also E. gracilis and E. Hookeri (E. viminalis 
Hook., in Mitchell's Tropical Australia non Labill.) are allied. 
E. Hookeri is quoted by Bentham in B. Fl. iii, 251. This name ought never to 
have got into Eucalyptus literature at all, and the regret is the greater in that it makes 
it now more difficult to connect this honoured name with a species of Eucalyptus. 
Bark. Bark totally persistent on the lower part of the stem only, then dark- 
coloured, and by longitudinal and transverse fissures broken up into small angular 
masses; hence the specific name; the rest of the stem and branches ashy grey and 
smooth, rarely the whole stem so to the base. (" Eucalyptographia." ) 
A fairly large tree, with rough tessellated bark on the lower half of the trunk, 
but deciduous on the upper part and branches. (Cat. of Queensland Timbers.) 
Bark is soaked in water, and drunk for dysentery on the Palmer (Middle) River, 
" r-gu-la." (N.Q. Ethnography Biill., No. 5, Roth.) 
.Timber. The timber its not hard, but tough; it is excellent for building purposes 
(Hill). Comparing it with other Eucalypts it is not a durable timber; it is used for 
staves and flooring. It is of a dark-brown colour, except near the bark. Mr. C. Moore 
(Cat. N.S.Vf. Timbers, Paris Exh., 1855), states that this tree indicates poor, sterile
