Leaves. The leaves are certainly rich in oil, and I would like to see a 
distillation made of them. 
Bark. Dark, box-like, or hard and scaly up to its branches, falling away in 
long flakes, rough at the butt, branches clean, bluish-green or pale-yellow to white 
right up to the tips. 
Timber. Hard and heavy, of a deep red when freshly cut, becoming browner 
with age, the grain of the timber fibrous, very tough, reputed to be an excellent timber 
for wheelwrights' work. 
Size. It is a large shrub or small, pendulous, willow-like tree, attaining a 
height of 30-50 feet, forming a single stem or stooling from the ground. 
Habitat. It extends from northern New South Wales to Central Queensland, 
so far as we kno\v at present. 
Following are specimens in the National Herbarium, Sydney. I am satisfied 
that careful research will bring many new localities to light. 
New South Wales." Willowy Eucalypt," Warialda, N.S.W. (W. A. W. cle 
Beuzeville, No. 3); Ticketty Well, Wallangra (E. H F. Swain, July, 1911. The type. 
J. L. Boorman, December, 1912); "Tree-like Mallee," 28 feet high and 5 inches in 
diameter, wood brown, bark grey up to 6 feet, then yellowish. Ticketty Well, locality 
of type (Forest Guard A. Julius, Nos. 17 and 19). The leaves of these specimens are 
broader than those of the type (Journ. Roy. Soc. N.S.W., liii, 68, 1919). 
Queensland. " Small bush, grows up to 10 feet high, grows very thickly on the 
poorest soil, where there is no Ironbark cover." Warwick (Forester W. E. Moore, 
through C. T. White). Near Jericho (J. L. Boorman). It is a Mallee, and it would 
appear that Mallee is rare in the northern State. It grows in masses on red stony 
ridges around the black soil of the flats, up to 10 feet high as seen. Gidgee (Acacia 
Cambagei R. T. Baker), and Gastrolobium grandiflorum F.v.M. grow in the immediate 
neighbourhood. (Proc. Roy. Soc. N.S.W. , xlvii, 235, 1913, as E. okosa). Eidsvold 
(T. L. Bancroft).
