Aboriginal Names. —By tlie aborigines of northern New South Wales and 
southern Queensland it is called “ Mungurra,” or “ Mungara.” By those of 
Central Queensland it was called “Arangnulla,” according to the late M. Tliozet. 
Caley (1800-10) gave the names (Sydney district) as “Yarro” (“Bastard Gum”) 
and “Burringora” to a broader-leaved form, perhaps variety latifolia. Cumbora 
(“July, 1807”) is certainly variety latifolia, while “ Calgargro is certainly variety 
squamosa , while “ Caro ” probably is. 
SyilOliyillS. — E. stibulata, A. Cunn. See also the names given under the 
separate varieties. 
Leaves, Oil. —Messrs. Schimmel & Co. ( Bericht , April, 1893, p. 38) 
examined the oil of a Bed Gum from Queensland, and say:—“A red oil of an 
odour not easily definable, resembling oil of Zeodary. Contains no cineol. 
Practically valueless.” 
Messrs. Baker and Smith ( Research on the Encalypts) say of this species :—

As will be seen later, there are at least three forms of tereticornis at 
Tenterfield, but I cannot assert positively which one is the Bed Gum of Tenterfield 
referred to in the following :— 
Oil from a variety of Eucalyptus, which is called Red Gum of Tenterfield. Specific gravity, 0 914-1; 
optical rotation, [«] D = — 2° 38'. Insoluble in 70 per cent, alcohol; soluble in equal parts of 80 per cent, 
alcohol. The oil has an odour like cumic aldehyde, contains cineol, but is free from phellandrene. As 
these data show, it is on the borders of a class of superior Eucalyptus oils, but it cannot replace a normal 
(jlobulus oil.—(Schimmel & Co., Semi-annual Report, October, 1900, page 32.) 
Timber. —Of a deep red colour, hard and inlocked in the grain, heavy and 
durable. Apt to warp in seasoning, and, in common with many of its congeners, it 
is very hard to work up when dry. It has some tendency to shell off, which limits 
its use for such purposes as flooring and decking. It is much esteemed for fence 
posts and any underground work, its great durability for this purpose having been 
long established. Used also for naves and felloes of wheels, and for general 
building purposes. Its merits and defects are much the same as those of Murray 
Bed Gum, and I draw attention to it as a meritorious timber for w T ood-blocks. It is 
a valuable timber for railway sleepers. 
Size.—The normal species furnishes the largest trees,—say, up to 100 or 120 
feet high, with a diameter of 3 or 4 feet. Notes on the sizes attained by the 
varieties will be given below.
