Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A valuable timber-tree, Eucalyptus pilularis, of southeastern Australia. It is straight in the grain, moderately heavy, light reddish brown in color (though the lower part of the trunk is black), and is adapted for bent work. It is found to thrive in California near the coast. Its wood is of general excellence for house- and ship-building, etc., and on account of branching high is specially available for telegraph-poles. Also called flintwood, willow, white-top, and mountain-ash.
