They are all known as Mahogany, and have the wood and bark of E. resiaifera. 
Some of the forms are described in a little detail:— 
(«) Buds ovoid to a “long beak and gradually tapering” (all connecting 
forms). 
Fruit about 7 lines in diameter, with rather broad, raised rim and exserted 
valves. 
This is the typical var. grandiflora referred to by Bentham, who points out 
its probable affinity to E. pellita, F.v.M., and Baron von Mueller has (Eucalypto- 
graphia) himself merged E. pellita in E. resinifera. 
Besides Manly (the B.F1. locality for this variety), it occurs as far south as 
Conjola, near Milton (W. Heron), and Currawang Creek (W. Bauerlen), which are 
the most southerly localities hitherto recorded, while Springwood, Blue Mountains 
(J. IT. Camfield), with narrower rim and valves less exserted, is the most westerly 
locality known to us. 
(b) Buds not seen. 
Very broad rim, round fruit. Fruits very large (10 lines diameter). 
Ordinary “Forest Mahogany” bark and timber. 
“Mountain Mahogany” (Olney, F. B.), Cooranbong; also Wyong. 
Charles Stuart’s No. 486, Timbarra, near Tenterfield, has a fruit precisely 
similar to the preceding, though smaller. It bears Mueller’s manuscript name “ E . 
resinifera, Sm., var. brachycorysE 
2.—Variety Kirtoniana, Deane and Maiden. 
(Syn. E. Kirtoniana , F.v.M., in “ Eucalyptographia,” arts. E. resinifera and 
E. robusta; E. patent inervis, R. T. Baker.) 
Buds all with a long beak and gradually tapering. 
Fruits about 5 lines diameter. Valves usually very exserted. Tendency 
to conical shape (when dry), but also subcylindrical. Tendency to 
twinning in the fruits. Rather narrow rim.

(W. Bauerlen). 
In 1879 Mueller wrote of this tree as follows (“Eucalyptographia,” under 
E. resinifera ) :— 
In the Illawarra district occurs a tree which attracted great attention in India.* ... It was 
there considered to belong to E. resinifera. It differs, however, from that species in having the leaves of 
equal colour on both sides with more prominent veins, the intramarginal veins more distant from the edge; 
thus in venation, as also in odour of foliage and fruit, the tree in question approaches E. robusta, but its 
* It is also cultivated in South Australia.
