Sterculiace^. 



Steeculia diversifolia G. Don. "Kurrajong-" Cobar generally. 

 December-January. One of the best of our ornamental 

 shrubs, and a valuable fodder. It is becoming scarce 

 through being used for stock, as well as the young 

 plants being rooted up for transplanting, to which, on 

 account of its long tap-root, it does not take kindly. It 

 grows anywhere. Its bark contains a gum.
