NATURAL ORDER. 



LEGUMINOS^E. 



THIS is a very extensive Order, and has representatives in almost all parts of the world, the number of species 

 numbering some thousands, the Australian specimens even running into hundreds. Many of these are very ornamental 

 and eminently fitted for cabinet-work, such timbers as Black Bean, Tortoise-shell Tulip, Myall, Eumung, Blackwood, 

 and other Acacias form a varied selection of fine cabinet woods, and occupy no mean space in the collections in this 

 Museum.
