aboriginals of Northern New South Wales. ‘‘Dtheerah” is another 
aboriginal name. 
This timber is soft, and easily worked, but not in very good 
repute, though undeservedly, as the timber from a well-matured 
tree is found to be very durable. (Hill.) ‘‘ Beddome, Brandis, 
and Kurz all say it warps and splits, but Mr. Halsey, of Madhopur, 
writes to say it is equally useful green or seasoned. Our speci- 
mens split only very slightly, and we are inclined to think it is 
better than it is supposed to be. It is handsomely marked, and 
polishes well. Its weight is from 30 to 38lb. per cubic foot.” 
(Gamble, Manual of Indian Timbers.) 
The rings in New South Wales specimens are very distinct, 
and their markings give the timber a-rich, wavy appearance, which 
is best exhibited in a vertical section. The wood is a pale 
yellowish-brown, which appears of a rich warm brown under 
polish. Two slabs in the Technological Museum, which have 
been seasoned over twenty-five years (having been exhibited at the 
London International Exhibition of 1862), have weights which 
correspond to 33lb. 50z. and 35lb. 40z. per cubic foot respectively, 
Diameter, 15 to 24in. ; he#ght, 40 to 5oft.

A rather heavy wood, paler than Boxwood, which it some- 
what resembles. It has a pretty grain, and is of a delicate tint. 
Its weight would be against it for ordinary cabinet-making 
purposes. A slab 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 solb. 60z. per cubic foot.
