41. Casuarina suberosa, Osto and Dietr., (Syn. C. leptoclada, 
Miq.; C. m@s/a, F.v.M.); N.O., Casuarinez, B.FI., vi., 197. 
This tree has the following colonial names :—‘ Erect She-Oak.” 
“Forest Oak.” ‘Swamp Oak.” ‘‘ River Black Oak.” ‘‘Shingle Oak.” 
** Beef-wood.” ‘ Dahl-wah” is an aboriginal name. 
The barks of Casuartnas are more or less astringent, and 
are occasionally used for tanning. In India this astringency is 
availed of for medicinal purposes, and less frequently in Australia, 
Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. 
42. Cedrela toona, Roxd., (Syn. Cedrela australis, F.v.M.); N.O., 
Meliacez, B.FI1., i., 386. C. australis in Muell. Cens., p. 9. 
Ordinary ‘‘ Red Cedar.” (For aboriginal names, see ‘“‘ Timbers.’’) 
This bark contains a considerable quantity of tannin, which 
produces a purplish leather. (Fawcett.) It is occasionally used 
for tanning in India. 
New South Wales and Queensland. 
43- Eleocarpus orandis, F.v.M.; N.O., Tiliacez, B.FI., i., 281. 
“Blue Fig.” “ Brisbane Quandong” (owing to the blue fruits being 
eaten by children and aboriginals), By the latter it is frequently called 
* Calhun,”or “ Callangun.” 
The author has examined this bark for tannic acid. (Proc. 
R.S., N.S.W., 1887, p. 182.) That yielded by a tree cultivated in 
Sydney gave 21.566 per cent. of extract to water, and 10.28 per 
cent. of tannic acid. It will be interesting to compare the per- 
centages of tannic acid found by Mr. Skey in two New Zealand 
species of this genus. 2. denfatus, Vahl. (“‘ Hinau’’), gave 21.8 
per cent., and £. Hookerianus, Raoul, 9.8 per cent. 
Northern New South Wales and Queensland. 
44. Eremophila longifolia, F.v.M. (Syn., Stenochilus longifolius, 
R.Br.; S. salicinus, Benth.; S. pudiéforus, Benth.); N.O., 
Myoporinee, B.FI., v., 23. 
“Emu Bush,” owing to emus feeding on the seeds of this and other 
species. ‘“‘ Berrigan” of the aboriginals. 
The author has examined the leaves and bark of this small 
tree for tannic acid, with the following results:—Zeaves, 9.705 
per cent. of tannic acid, and 42.92 per cent. of extract; Barh,.
