NATURAL ORDER. 



SANTALACE^E. 



A FAIRLY well distributed Order over the world, and famous more particularly as yielding the Sandalwood of the 

 East. There are one or two species in Australia that call for remark in this work, and one produces the Sandalwood 

 of Western Australia, although the tree occurs throughout most of the States, but is only exported from the West. 

 Most of the other representatives of the Order in Australia are small shrubs, but there is one exception that might be 

 mentioned, namely, the Native Cherry (Exocarpus cupressiformis). The figure of. this wood is small, but pretty, and 

 looks well when used to aid decoration in cabinet work.
