Tasmanian Waratah. 



(Telopea truncata, R.Br.) 



A rather small tree, with timber having a figure similar to the Victorian Waratah, but 

 having a darker heartwood ; of a pale red colour. It could be utilised in the smaller kinds of 

 cabinet work. 



Description of the Tree. A much smaller tree than the Victorian Waratah, about 

 20 feet being its maximum height, which appears to be the only distinguishing feature 

 from that species. The leaves perhaps are a shade shorter than that species. 



Geographical Range. Tasmania, principally on the Mountains.
