NATURAL ORDER. 



RUTACE^E. 



THIS natural Order is quite southern in its distribution, and as a timber yielder is not famous out of Australia. 

 The material obtained from our Rutaceae is deserving of far more attention than has yet been given it. The genera 

 Bosistoa, Melicope, Pentaceras, Evodia, and Zanthoxylum produce beautiful pale yellow-coloured or even whitish 

 timbers. It is to be regretted that groups of such fine woods should be so near extinction. Two are photographed 

 here, as the others are now less frequently found on the market. These particular illustrations will give the index to 

 'the rest of the Rutaceae timbers, which are generally of medium weight, close grained, polish and dress well, and 

 would be an acquisition in many branches of cabinet work. 



SPECIES ILLUSTRATED IN COLOUR : 



Thorny Yellow Wood (Zanthoxylum brachyacanthum, F.v.M.). 

 Scrub Hickory (Pentaceras australis, J. Hook.).
