Abstract

THE botanical characters of this Eucalypt have been described bynMaiden and Blakely. As pointed out by them, it closely resemblesnthe common stringybark, Eucalyptns eugenioides, except that it favoursnsandy, swamp country, whence its common name-Swamp Stringybark.nUnlike E. eugenioides, however, its distribution seems to be limited to a few small areas, those recorded being at Beerwah (Queensland) andnGlen Innes (New South Wales).Mr. C.
