NATURAL ORDER. 



SAXIFRAGES. 



THE representatives of this world-wide Order occur in almost every State of the Commonwealth, and range in 

 size from a small herbaceous annual to a fair-sized forest tree. The principal Australian timbers in this connection 

 are : 



Coachwood (Ceratopetalum apelalum, D. Don). 

 Corkwood (Ackama Mitelleri, Benth.). 



(Weinmannia ntbifolia, F.v.M.). 

 Plumwood (Eucryphia Moorei, F.v.M.). 



Coachwood is a first-class timber, and the supply is plentiful, but the wood is not appreciated so much to-day 

 as previously. Coachwood's day will yet come in Australian cabinet work.
