The Bairnsdale Grey Box is oue of our most durable, and fr-oin the large size attained, one of the
most valuable of our timber trees. Until I examined its characters critically, and until its botanical
peculiarities were investigated, at my instance, in collections which I forwarded to Baron von Mueller, it
was considered locally as "Yellow Box" {E. melliodora), to which it has a slight superficial resemblance.
