This persistent bark is never fibrous, but more or lessscaly. The leaves of this tree are most variable; they run fromthe shape and size of a typical Blue Gum to a small and narrowlinear (as in narrow-leaved Peppermints). Reference is already madein the botanic description of Enrali/pfiis (//obulus to the probablehybridisation with this species. The Cider Gum of the Midlands and Lake Country is small,and seldom exceeding 20 feet, except in shaded places (at Uxbridgeexceeding 200 feet). The bark is smooth and white from the forms have, when young, large round leaves opposite in pairs,and joined at the base, but this seldom continues long after theflowering jjeriod is reached. The leaves of this gum are notoblique, but equal-sided, and the flowers are always three togetlier. Rod Gn is very closely allied to the last, and in Australia isoften considered but a form of it. It is a small to medium-sizedtree, mucli branched and spreading The bark is persistent, more. 38 or less up the stem, and is coarsely scaly. The leaves are equal-sided, shining, and often undulating towards the margin. Theflowers usually six to eight together. The name Red Gum hasmerely a local significance, as it has no relationship to the variousRed Gums of Australia. Apple-scented Gum is readily dis-tinguished from this by its stringy bark and smaller fruit. Brown Gum has a tendency to a tall central stem, but is muchinfluenced by surroundings, attaining a height of 150 feet in someparts, dwindling down to a mere shrub in others. The bark issmooth from the base, green, and blotehed with red-brown. DwarfGum is very close to this in form of organs, but appears to main-tain a distinct character. It seldom exceeds 3 to 5 feet in are small
