NATURAL ORDER. 



SAPINDACE^E. 



As a timber-yielder outside Australia this Order does not seem to rank very high. In Australia the timbers 

 are fairly numerous, hard, close-grained, tough and strong, but lacking in figure except in the case of Tulip Wood, 

 Harputtin, pendula, and perhaps Nephdium semiglaucum, which, although suitable timbers for many purposes, yet 

 are rarely found on the market.
