On rocky, densely-timbered ranges — thus on the Grampians 
and the Genoa Ranges ; also on low sandy country near the 
Wimmera. A middle-sized tree, known also as the Oyster Bay 
Pine. (F. Mueller.) Wood used, like that of Ccdlitris verrucosa, 
for a great variety of purposes. ( Jurors' Report.) 
50. Oallitris calcarata, R. Brown. 
{Frenela pyramidalis , A. Gunn.) 
Ovens Ranges. A small or middle-sized tree. 
51. Oallitris verrucosa, R. Brown. 
THE DESERT SANDARAC-PINE, or CYPRESS. 
(. Frenela robusta , A. Gunn.) 
Generally a middle-sized tree, more or less copiously dispersed 
through the Mallee scrub, in some directions abundant. The 
timber of this tree, from its peculiar odour, is said to be obnoxious 
to the attacks of insects. The dark beauty of the wood renders 
it useful for many articles of cabinet furniture, as well as for 
building and flooring. ( Jurors Report , 1866.) Valuable for 
cabinet purposes, and very durable for telegraph posts. (Moore.) 
Specific gravity, 0*69 1 . Resin from this species and from 
G. cupressiformis is available in considerable abundance ; it 
exudes naturally from the bark in tears, or small pendulous 
masses, and also flows from incisions made to encourage exuda- 
tion. It is almost identical with the best Sandarac from the 
Callitris quadrivalis of North Africa, so largely used in the 
manufacture of varnishes. ( Jurors ’ Report , 1861, page 57.) 
Weight of a cubic foot of dried wood, about 43 lbs.

Euphorbiacece. 
Occurring in the eastern extremity of Gippsland. A tall shrub 
or small tree. 
53. Cassinia aculeata, R. Brown. 
Natura l Order — Composite . 
Frequent in moist wooded tracts of the colony. Oftener a 
shrub than a small tree.
