Eucalyptus Gigantea
This stringy bark gum furnishes a strong,
durable timber, used for shipbuilding and other purposes. _E.
robusta_ contains large cavities in its stem, between the annual
concentric circles of wood, filled with a red gum. Many of the
species yield gums and astringent principles
and also a species of
manna. The timber of these trees has been pronounced to be
unsurpassed for strength and durability by any other timber known.
The leaves of these trees are placed vertically to the sun, a
provision suited to a dry and sultry climate.
