Eucalyptus gomphocephala, DC. Tooart Thee. Tree, 120 ft. or less high: bark persistent, rough but not stringy, becoming dark: Lvs. thick, narrowly acuminate, pale green: fls. usually 3-5, sessile; lid globose, very hard and thick; stamens 3-4 lines long; anthers opening by parallel slits: fr. turbinate; rim broad and convex, rounded to the incurved valves. F.v.M. Eucal. 7:4. — Easily distinguishable by the broad lid. Wood of a pale yellowish color: remarkable for hardness and strength, heavy, the grain close and twisted: shrinks but little and does not check while seasoning: suitable for large scantlings and for use where exposed to great heat, as in engine-rooms: one of the strongest woods known. Grows both along the coast and in the dry interior valleys: one of the most alkali-resistant species. CH
