Nephelium leiocarpum (X), F.v.M., and Earpullia pendula, Planch., 
being the only Sapindaceous trees of N. S. Wales which furnished 
any woods for the Adelaide Jubilee International Exhibition of 
1887, though specimens of Cicpania anacardioides, A. Rich., might 
have been procured near the coast not far from Sydney. In the 
list of Queensland woods furnished by F. M. Bailey, F.L.S., five 
additional species of Cupania, two of Ratonia, one of Atalaya, one 
of Nephelium, one of Heterodendron, and one of ATcania are given 
as afibrding timbers of different qualities, but the larger .species 
only are said to be common to the scrubs of Queensland and 
N. S. Wales. The species of the order found near Sydney are : — 
(1) Cupania semiglauca, F.v.M., generally a small tree in the 
southern parts of the colony, but attaining a height of 50 or 60 
feet in Queensland and the northern scrubs of N. S. Wales. The 
wood is reported to be soft and of no recognised value. C. ana- 
car dioides, A. Rich., seldom attains any size, excepting in the 
northern scrubs and in Queensland, and its wood is not much 
used. DipUglottis Cimninghami, Hook., which is nearly allied to 
Cupania (and has a wide range from Queensland to Illawai’ra), 
does not occur near Sydney. This, according to Mr. Bailey, is 
called “ Native Tamarind,” and furnishes a close-grained and 
very tough wood. 
(2) Nephelium leiocarpum, F.v.M., is the only species of the 
genus that is found near Sydney, and it extends to Twofold Bay, 
but it is only a small tree with inconspicuous flowers. Tlie fruit 
is somewhat remarkable, the black shining seeds being inclosed in 
a red arillus. 
(3) JJodonaa is better represented from Port Jackson to tlie 
Blue Mountains than any other genus of the order, but the species 
are small. 1). trupuetra, Andr., is very common near Sydney. 1 1
