  • Type: "In swampy localities at Cabramatta and in some other places of the County of Cumberland and also in the County of Camden (Rev. Dr. Woolls); near Mount Dromedary (Miss Bate); near Twofold Bay (L. Morton); near the Genoa (Barnard); on the summit of the Tantowango-Mountains and also near the Mitchell-River (Howitt); between the Tambo and Nicholson Rivers (Schlipalius); near the Strzelecki Ranges (Olsen)."
  • Etymology: "As richly oil-yielding and also as exuding much kino, this tree is especially appropriate to connect therewith the name of Joseph Bosisto, Esq., C.M.G., who investigated many of the products of the Eucalypts, and gave them industrial and commercial dimensions."
