Aboriginal Names. —“ Yapunyah ” or “ Napunyali ” near Goondiwindi, 
according to Mr. C. C. Chapman. These names are, however, shared by E. ochro- 
phloia , F.v.M. 
Synonyms.— 
(1) E. gracilis , F.v.M., var. Thozetiana , F.v.M., in “ Eucalyptograpliia ” under 
E. gracilis. 
(2) E. calycogona, Turcz., var. Thozetiana, Maiden, in “ Critical Revision of the 
genus Eucalyptus,” Vol. i, p. 82. 
Leaves. —Note their narrowness, and their slender, graceful character. 
Bark. —Evidently a smooth-harked species, with a little rough bark at the 
butt. Following are collectors’ notes :— 
“ It sheds all the bark except that on the butt of the trunk.” (Mr. E. 
Bowman, on a specimen from the Mackenzie River, from Bev. Dr. Woolls’ 
herbarium.) 
“ Bark smooth, white, and entirely deciduous. The trunk is beautifully 
fluted, which appears to be a constant character of this species.” (P. O’Shanesy.) 
This is interesting, for the Western Australian Gimlet Gum (E. salubris) is the only 
other species described with a fluted bark, so far as I know. 
Timber. —Mr. R. T. Baker says that it is harder than that of any other 
Eucalyptus timber known to him. That it is very heavy, close-grained and inter¬ 
locked, has a chocolate colour, and resembles the Lignum-vitce of commerce. He 
suggests its suitability for sleepers, posts, rails, bridges, cogs, mallets, &c. 
Size. —Messrs. E. Bowman and P. O’Shanesy found it attaining a height of 
60 feet on the Mackenzie and Comet Rivers (Cometville). 
. “ It is like a Mallee, but do not think it has the bulbous stock of a Mallee. 
The average size of the stems is a diameter of 7-S inches, with a length of 25 feet 
(as poles drawn into the station), so that the length may be fairly put at SO feet.” 
(Mr. C. C. Chapman, of Newinga.) 
These two localities are some hundreds of miles apart. It is evidently a very 
large tree about Cometville, and it may be that it does not attain its greatest size 
even there. 
Habitat. —Originally found on the Expedition Range, say 120 miles west of 
Rockhampton, by M. Tliozet. 
Mackenzie River (E. Bowman); Comet River, at Cometville, (P. O’Shanesy), 
These two rivers run into each other at Cometville. Warrego River (F. M. Bailey). 
No part is stated; Cunnamulla and Charleville are on the Warrego. Flinders River, 
probably, but not very good specimens (F. M. Bailey). Tandwanna, a few miles 
north-west of Newinga (C. C. Chapman).
