 forming a canopy of foliage. Bark reddish-brown, very rough, splitting 

 longitudinally, giving it a peculiar stringy appearance. 



Anatomy of leaf of specimen from Erskine Valley : Upper epidermis 

 with cuticle, cells large, one layer, slightly deeper than wide. Hypoderm 

 of two layers of sclerenchymatous cells ; cells about twice as long as broad 

 in cross-section. Palisade tissue of three layers of cells. Spongy tissue 

 of small cells. Lower epidermis of single row of cells, smaller than those of 

 upper epidermis, cuticularized. Vascular bundles surrounded by sclerenchy- 

 matous tissue of small pentagonal cells, the sclerenchyma extending as a 

 tissue two to three cells thick to meet the hypoderm. The sclerenchymatous 

 tissue extends to the lower epidermis, or a layer of spongy tissue cells may 

 intervene. (See fig. 3, b.) 



Habitat : Plentiful in forest on the mountains from 200 m. alt. to summit 

 of Mount Gower. In Erskine Valley it occurs as a large forest-tree, forming 

 with Acicalyptus part of the upper tier of vegetation, but is more plentiful 

 in the main tier. On the summit of Mount Gower it occurs singly and 

 in clumps, is very conspicuous, and forms a considerable portion of the 

 vegetation.
