NATURAL ORDER. 



LAURINE^E. 



REPRESENTATIVES of this Order are found in the four quarters of the globe, but they are essentially tropical trees, 

 a.i there the species and genera are more numerous. The Camphor Laurel, so extensively grown in Australia, although 

 not a native, belongs to this Order. Most of the Australian trees yield good timbers for cabinet work, but are not used 

 except in the case of Bolly Gum and Queensland Walnut, which often have a large, well-defined figure.
