 and texture from the type or main group, such as Myall, Gidgea, Brigalow, &c, It is pale- 

 coloured, fairly hard and light in weight, and being a rapid grower the annual rings are prominent, 

 and when cut tangentially give a big figure. Suitable for chair-making, carriage-work, or any 

 purpose where medium strength is required.

 tomentose. Pod narrow, compressed, much twisted. Seeds longitudinal, shining, 

 funicle pale-reddish, almost encircling the seed in a double fold.
