Chickrassia tubularis, 4d. Juss.—Cedar, Bastard Cedar. 
In “ Balfour’s Timber Trees,” 3rd ed., (1870), p. 71, the wood of 
this tree is recorded as cedar, bastard cedar and deodar, probably 
on account of its wood having a scent somewhat like that of 
Cedrus Deodara. It forms a large tree, considerably over 100 feet 
high, with a long straight trunk and large handsome leaves. The 
wood is hard, brownish in colour, works with a fine smooth surface, 
and is said to be used largely in India for furniture and carving. 
Its distribution is given as the forests of the Sikkim Himalaya ; 
ssam, Eastern Bengal, and Chittagong, throughout S. India, 
Ceylon, Burma, and the Andaman and Cocos Islands. 
Guarea, Trichilia and Pseudocedrela are three genera belonging 
to Meliaceae which, according to Mr. H. N. Thompson, “Gold 
Coast Report on Forests,” 1910, furnish the timber which is known 
as West African cedar. The particular species are not dealt with. 
LEGUMINOSAE, 
Acacia elata, Ad. Cunn.—Cedar, Cedar Wattle, White Cedar 
Wattle. 
The several common names by which this tree is known, are said 
to have been applied many years ago on account of its leaves 
bearing some resemblance to those of the better known Australian 
cedar trees, rather than from any similarity between the woods. 
In the “ Forest Flora of New South Wales,” iii, pt. xxii, No. 82, 
pp- 23-25, Maiden deseribes it as a handsome tree 60 feet or more 
high with pinnate leaves and inflorescences six inches long of 
globular flower heads. The timber is light coloured and of little 
merit. Maiden refers to the bark as being fairly rich in tannin. 
The species is said to be confined to New South Wales.

and rusty shoots, The leaves are feathery and made up of numerous 
small, more or less downy leaflets. The wood is described as of a 
light brown colour for several inches in from the bark, the rest
