When big enough, it is cut up at Woolgoolga, N.S.W., as Tallow-wood 
(E. microcorys). This will best give an idea of the appearance of the timber. 
ExildcltioilS.—A small quantity of the kino of this species was examined 
by Maiden and Smith in Contributions to a Knowledge of Australian Vegetable 
Exudations, Part I, Proc. Boy. Soc. N.S. TV., xxix. 
Size. —In the Brisbane district it attains a height of, perhaps, 100 feet and a 
diameter of (say) 8 feet (Bailey ). The same dimensions were given in regard to trees 
near Kempsey, N.S.W. About Camden Haven the trees are poor and pipy; a 
solid one could not be found. Their height goes up to (sav) 30 feet, with a diameter 
of 15 inches, but the trees are of stunted growth. 
Habitat. —It is a coast species, and I am not aware that it has been recorded 
from further south than Camden Haven. It extends along the coast as far as 
Queensland. 
Immediately opposite Laurieton, on the other side of the Camden Haven Biver, 
near the coast, are some trees of this, a rather rare species. It is here found over an 
area of about a mile, by half a mile broad. 
Specific localities are Eight-mile Plains, near Brisbane (E. M. Bailey) ; 
Evans Biver, N.S.W. (W. Baeuerlen); Camden Haven (Forest Banger G. B. 
Brown). 
It has also been found in a more inland locality by Mr. E. C. Andrews, 
viz., Glen Elgin, about 30 miles north-easterly from Glen Lines, or about 20 miles 
easterly from Deepwater, and on the eastern watershed. 
Mr.. Andrews furnishes the following note: — 
“ The more precise locality is Pheasant Creek, 18 miles N.N.E. from Glen Elgin. 
Occurs at an altitude of 3,000 feet on an extremely acid variety of granite. Very rocky and sandy 
country, almost indistinguishable from Hawkesbury Sandstone tops, around National Park and Hornsby. 
Habit. —Tall, upright, thin tops. Huge bunches of fruits, very noticeable from ground (50-70 
feet below). 
Associates. — E. corymbosa, E. pilularis, Stringybark (species unknown), Pimeleas, Slyphelias, 
Boronias , Waralahs, Xanthorrhceas, and various other sand-loving plants.”
