12. — CEDAR (Agonis juniperina). 



A tree growing to a height of 50ft. with a diameter of 2ft. Gin. It is found 

 growing only in the karri country, alongside the running streams and rivers. It 

 is usually associated with river banksia and peppermint. The wood is light brown 

 or yellow in colour. It is very strong and most suitable for axe handles and other 

 uses where hickory or ash is generally used. 



The bark is persistent, brown, fibrous, and spirally fissured. 



May be distinguished from the W.A. Peppermint by its much smaller leaves 

 which are about ^4 inch long, and by 

 near the ends of the branches.
