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 Atherospe;ma 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.
