megasperma in Muell. Cens., p. 39. 
This plant is a climber, with a stem which is sometimes a 
foot in diameter. It is rather a heavy wood, of a warm brown 
colour, and a grain resembling cedar, but it is apt to split in 
seasoning, and to clog the plane. When these difficulties have 
been overcome it is a nice, clean-looking, useful wood. 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 55lb. t1oz. 
per cubic foot. 
New South Wales and Queensland.
