Aboriginal Names. —Tile late Sir William Macarthur stated that the 
aborigines of Illawarra called it “ Burram-burrang.” (I have examined the original 
herbarium specimens sent by him to the London Exhibition of 1862.) To the same 
Exhibition (and also to that of Paris, 1855) he sent specimens labelled “Woolly- 
butt of Illawarra.” The aboriginal names were given by him as “Ngaouli” or 
“ Gnaoulie.” Mr. Eorester Allan, of Moruya, gives the aboriginal name of this 
timber on the South Coast as “ Mudione.” I am unable to state what tribes used 
the names in question.

Prope pagum Smithfield Novae-Cambriae australis. Woods. Arbor “Woollybutt” nomine 
distincta. Cortex partim secedens. Folia 2|-5" longa, |-1" lata, sensimlonge in apicem acutata, vix 
v. parce pellucido-punctata. Pedunculi satis graciles, J-l longi, teretiusculi v. compressi. Pedicelli

interdum in formam turbinatam vergentes, margine pallido 1-11'" lato circum orificium cincto. Valvae 
detoidae, infra marginem insertae, 1"' parum longiores. Semina sterilia angulata, clavato-filiformia 
|-1"' longa; fertilia nigrescentia, subovata. Species rara, ut videtur nullibi descript a, E. cosmophyllae 
et E. longifolia forsan approximanda. (Mueller’s Fragmenta , ii, 50.) 
Leaves (Oil). —The leaves have already been referred to. They are not 
rich in oil and have rarely been distilled. The oil is viscid, has an aromatic 
cooling taste and camphor-like odour. Sp. gr., 0 940; boiling temperature, 
194-215°, according to the late Mr. J. Bosisto. 
Fl’llit. —This species can readily be determined from its fruit, which arc 
usually in threes. They are the largest fruits of any of the eastern Australian 
species, and the shape is characteristic. Their size, and the sculpture of the rim, 
vary somewhat. 
Bark. —The hark is persistent or partially deciduous and has a greyish 
appearance; the young trees being very much like the box-tree (E. hemiphloia 
or Bosistoana). 
Timber. —Lark red, of a wavy grain, rather heavy, and not unlike red 
ironbark in general appearance, for which more valuable timber it is sometimes 
substituted. It is a very durable timber, but deficient in strength and elasticity, 
particularly near the heart. Many of the •trees are also faulty, and hence it is 
not a favourite with saw-millers.
