It has long broad falcate phyllodia, whilst another species of the same size has an irregular scaly bark, with small phyllodia, but of a greyer colour than those of the common Bricklow.

Both species grow promiscuously together.

Where the river left the scrub, it entered into a wild water-worn box flat, and cut up into several irregular channels, lined by a dense thicket of narrow-leaved Melaleucas of stunted growth and irregular shapes.

The Box-tree itself is here a different species, the bark has deeper fissures, and the young wood is very yellow.

I shall distinguish it by the name of "Water-box," as it grows exclusively near creeks, or on the neighbouring flats.
