‘Blueberry Ash.” “ Prickly Fig.” Called ‘‘ Madda-gowrie” in the 
Bombala district of New South Wales, owing to its supposed resemblance 
to a New Zealand tree bearing that name. 
This wood is white, close-grained, and good for joiners’ work. 
(Macarthur.) Baron Mueller speaks of it as ‘‘ exquisite for 
cabinet-work.” A slab of this wood in the Technological 
Museum, which has been seasoned over twenty-five years (having 
been exhibited at the London International Exhibition of 1862), 
has a weight which corresponds to 37lb. 70z. per cubic foot.

Syn. Queensland FI. (Bailey). 
“White Beech.” £. reticulata, var. Kirtoni, is known as “Illawarra 
Ash,” or ‘Mountain Ash.” 
Wood light-brown, fine-grained, and suitable for furniture. 
It somewhat resembles English Sycamore. A specimen of timber 
from Southern New South Wales in the Technological Museum 
has been pronounced by Baron Mueller to be £. reticulata, var. 
Kirtont (? = £. Kirtonz). It is said to get very hard after 
drying, but will not stand for outside work ; locally it is being 
used for flooring-boards, and it is being tried for butter-kegs.
