CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE QUEENSLAND FLORA. 65 
This tree, which is very plentiful in the localities enumerated, has a 
bark with a general resemblance to that of the Bolly Gum, Litsea 
reticulata. The timber is durable and is extensively used on farms for 
fencing posts and rails and for purposes in which hardwood is generally 
used. It also resembles the timber of Litsea reticulata, but is darker in 
colour and heavier in weight.
