lxii 53; Vol. vii. 53. 
A slender tree 20-30 feet high, foliage 
throughout of a bluish cast; juvenile leaves 
ovate; adult leaves narrow-lanceolate; buds

In strict propriety, only those eucalypts that 
shed their dead bark are “Gums,” and only those 
“Gums’’ whose juvenile foliage and young stems 
are glaucous or blue-green in colour are “Blue- 
gums.” E. globulus is a “blue-gum” and the 
best-known member of its group. Bark irregu¬ 
larly deciduous; juvenile leaves large, coarse, 
sessile; adult leaves stalked, long, deep-green; 
buds warty with low cap-like lids; seed-cups 
solitary, sessile, rough, often with very full 
disc or rim (10-15 x 15-25-30 mm.). Timber 
pale interlocked, hard, of first quality for tech¬ 
nical work. T., V. (See Group iv. 48.)

dolle. C.R. Pt. xxi. 19; Vol. 
iii. 19.

ted bark on trunk, branches smooth, ribbony; 
juvenile leaves broadish lanceolate; buds with

(13-20 x 11-15 mm.). Timber pale, yellowish, 
hard and durable. W.A. (See Group i. 5.) 
x E. gomphocornuta : Trabut. C.R. 
Pt. Iii. 76; Vol. vi. 76. 
A hybrid; reputed parents, E. gomphoce¬ 
phala and E. COrnuta. A pyramidal-shaped 
tree with dark-green foliage, and persistent,

Pt. xix. 267; Vol. ii. 267. 
A tall tree, bark smoothish, but with ribbons 
and more or less roughish and even flaky at 
butt; juvenile leaves sessile, broad, glaucous;
