Tetranthera (Ln;^/EA) reticulata, Meissn. — Thei-e has long 

 been a doubt as to the exact botanical determination of the 

 marketable timber passing under the name of " She Beech." 

 Many authors have referred it to Cryptocarya glaucescens, R.Br, 

 and specimens of timber exhibited in International Exhibitions 

 and now in the Technolocrical Museum were labelled with the 

 latter name queried; but I think now the matter can be definitely 

 settled, as I have acquired botanical (timber and flowering) 

 specimens from Gosford, Port Macquarie and Lismore, and with- 

 out doubt •' She Beech " is Tefrantliera retimdata., Meissn. 



The timber of Cryptocarya ylaucescens is quite distinct, being 

 much lighter in colour, more durable and with little or no tigure, 

 as against the rich brown colour and large figure of T. reticulata. 



" She Beech " timber is, I find, also being sold in the Sydney 

 market under the name of " Bully or Bolly Glum," so that we 

 have the timber merchants selling to an unsuspecting pulilic 

 apparently two distinct timbers, but which are in reality from 

 one and the same species, i.e.., T. reticulata.
