TIMBERS. 541 
over twenty-five years (having been exhibited at the London Inter- 
national Exhibition of 1862), has a weight which corresponds to 
47lb. 120z. per cubic foot. It dresses well, both on the face and 
end-grain, but the figure is not marked enough for it to be called 
a handsome wood. Diameter, 18 to 26in.; height, 70 to goft. 
Northern New South Wales and Queensland.

361. Flindersia maculosa, /.v.4Z,, (Syn. F. Strzeleckiana, F.v.M. ; 
Lla@odendron maculosum, Lindl.; Strzeleckya dissosperma, 
F.v.M.); N.O., Meliacez, B.FI., i., 388. (In Muell. Cens., 
p- 9, described as £. Strzelecktana, F.v.M.) 
“Spotted Tree,” or ‘Leopard Tree.” Sometimes called “ Prickly 
Pine” in Queensland. 
The timber is used for shingles, staves of tallow casks, and 
pick handles. (Hill.) It is of a bright yellow colour, and ex- 
ceedingly tough. Unlike many other timbers in the arid western 
districts of New South Wales it is very elastic, and is, therefore, 
used for the poles and shafts of drays, buggies, etc. In the rough 
state (7.e., with the bark on) it is used for fencing, but it is useless 
for building purposes, as a coleopterous insect soon destroys it. 
About Wilcannia, N.S.W., it is, however, considered very durable 
by some, when sawn and used for inside work. Diameter, 12 to 
18in.; height, 36 to 4oft. 
New South Wales and Queensland. 
362. Flindersia Oxleyana, FvuM., (Syn. Oxleya xanthoxyla, 
Hook.); N.O., Meliacez, B-.FI., i., 389. 
“Light Yellow Wood,” or ‘‘ Long Jack.” The ‘‘ Yeh” of the aboriginals 
of Northern New South Wales. 
The timber is strong, durable, fine-grained, and of good 
colour; used in boat-building, cabinet-work, and for many of the 
purposes to which cedar is applied. (Hill.) It is a useful wood 
for fancy work on account of its frequently pretty yellow colour.
