"Sample taken from a tree about 15 feet high and 1 foot in 

 diameter. I selected a young tree, as almost all the large ones 

 are hollow. It grew on flooded land on the first creek three 

 miles south of Condobolin. I should call it dwarf or stunted Box 

 with drooping branches like a ' Willow tree ' " ( W. H. Suttor).
