Eucalyptus numerosa Maiden. „The River White Gum". Timber 

 not durable. The cultivation of the tree is recommended for ornamental 

 purposes. 



Flindersia australis R. Br. „Native Teak". New South Wales 

 teak has for raany years been regarded as the produce of F. Bennettlana, 

 this is now shown to be erroneous and the timber is really the product 

 of F. australis. Cudgerie has similarly been supposed to be the verna- 

 cular for F. australis but should be appphed to F. Schottiana. „Teak" 

 is one of the best woods of the State, is extensively used locally and 

 also exported to Germany. It is extremely hard, and amongst the 

 special uses enumerated are flooring boards, cog wheels, outside 

 walls, linings of wells etc.; it is resistant to white ants. 



The tree yields a true gum consisting of arabin and metarabin. 



Plates are given of all the species described.
