STERCULIACER. 
STERCULIA DIVERSIFOLIA, G. Don. (Brachychiton Grezorii, 
F. Muell.) This, the Kurragong tree, is tolerably abundant in 
various distriets of the Interior, especially north of Goongarrie. 
lt is much rarer in the neighbourhood of Coolgardie ; thus, 
during all the months I was at Gibraltar, but one was seen there, 
and none elsewhere except at Bullabulling, where there are a 
few close to the rocks.
