Cadellia pentastvli.s, n.sp. 



Along dry water-courses, Eulah Creek, 17 miles east of 

 Narrabri (District Forester E. H. F. Swain ; November, 

 1911). 



A new and unexpected locality for a rare tree. It has 

 hitherto been recorded from New South Wales only from the 

 Severn River, New England. Mr. F. M. Bailey records it 

 from Southern Queensland, "near the border of New South 

 Wales," but with no definite locality. 



According to Mr. Swain's report, it is a tree about 40 feet 

 high, with a red, very hard wood.
