NATURAL ORDER. 



MONIMIACE^E. 



A RATHER limited Order, and found mostly in the southern continents. The two best representatives here amongst 

 cabinet timbers are the Sassafras, Doryphora sassafras and Atherospama moschata, both fair timbers, the former being 

 light yellow in colour and without any particular figure, but the latter has often a very dark, irregular stain in long 

 angular blotches, which produces a unique figure and looks well in panelling. 



SPECIES ILLUSTRATED IN COLOUR :
