9.— YELLOW TINGLE TINGLE (Euc. Guilfoylei).

A tree which grows to the height of about 100 feet and is three to four feet in diameter. It grows in the same district as the red tingle tingle, but isolated specimens may also be found near Denmark. It forms a lower storey under the red tingle tingle. The timber has not been tested, but from an examination that has been made it appears to be suitable for all purposes for which tuart is now used.

The bark is persistent, grey-brown, but more fibrous than that of red tingle tingle.

The tree resembles the jarrah in general appearance, but the bark is less rough. The fruits are also smaller, and narrower, or more contracted at the top. They are also more pear-shaped.
