Tlie oldest name for tliis species is F. Strzeleckiami var. latifolia Bail. Tlie 

 name should therefore be F. latifolia; the tree is so well known now however as 

 F. collina that no good would seem to result from the change. 



Viernacular Names. — It is most commonly known as the "Leopard wood," 

 a name however also applied to F. maculosa; it is also known as "Scrub Leopard 

 wood" and "Broad-leaved Leopard wood." Writing from Benarkiu, Southern 

 Queensland, Asst. Forester F. H. Weatherhead informs me that tlie tree is 

 variously known there as "Leopard wood," "Carpet Snake wood," "Nut wood," 

 "Maul wood." "Long Jack" and "Lance wood." At Nanango, Mr. C. H. Grove 

 informs me it is known as "Bastard Crow's Ash" or "Leather wood." 



Hah. — Maiden records it for New South Wales only from the Tooloon 

 Ranges. His remarks "growing in the foothills in dense scrubs it appears to 

 be a very rare tree," though they may apply in New South Wales, do not in 

 any way apply to the tree as it occurs in Queensland, it being one of tiie 

 commonest trees in the south-eastern parts of the latter State, very plentiful 

 in the drier and thinner scrubs, as those of Benarkin, Rosewood, Nanango, Thee- 

 bine, etc. 



In the Queensland Herbarium we have it from as far north as Chiklers 

 (Mr. R. Helms) and Mt. Pen-y (,T. Keys), and as far west iis Taroom, — about 

 200 miles inland (— PatuUo).
