are: Swizzle ( Timonius Rumphii ), ‘‘Acacia" (Albizzia 
procera) , “Apple’' ( Careya australis), Screw Pine (Pan- 
damns sp.), Black Wattle ( Acacia Solandri), Mackay 
Cedar (Albizzia Toona ) , Grass Tree (Xanthorrhoea 
media) “Zamia” (Cycas media), Forest Oak (Uasuarina 
suberosa) , Honeysuckle (Banksia integrifolia) and Ac - 
cacia flavescens. 
Swizzle is generally a small tree, but sometimes it 
grows to a fairly large size up to 18in. in stem diameter 
and 60 feet in height. It is fairly common and is gener- 
ally distributed throughout the area with the exception of 
the damp Tea Tree flats. 
Acacia is fairly generally distributed, but avoids 
the damp Tea Tree flats, and the highly siliceous country 
occupied by grass tree. There is very little of it in the 
country from Mt. Christian southward to Flaggy Rock, 
except on and near the creek fiats. 
The Screw Pine is generally distributed throughout 
the area on the damp flats and gradual slopes. 
Apple (Careya australis ), which is not related to the 
“Apple Tree" of southern forests, is generally distributed 
and is a fairly common tree. 
The Black Wattle (Acacia Solandri) is rather 
sparsely distributed, but ranges over the whole portion. 
The Mackay Cedar (Albizzia Toona), although not 
frequent, is seen here and there throughout the portion 
with the exception of the damp tea tree flats. This species 
is obviously highly adaptable to various environments as 
it is one of the largest and most luxuriant of the rain- 
forest trees. 
Grass Tree occurs in patches on highly siliceous soils. 
The chief patches of Grass Tree occur in the following 
parts of the portion: Grass Tree gold field (N.E. from 
Sarina), between Sarina and Koumala, but nearer the 
Sarina end (this is not a very extensive patch), on the 
Mt. Funnel Range, between Mt. Christian and Ilbilbic. 
between West Hill and Carmila, and between Carmila and 
Flaggy Rock. There is much more Grass Tree country in 
the southern part of the portion from the Mt. Ftinnel 
Range southwards than in that part of it north of Mt. 
Funnel Range. Stunted timber is generally associated 
with Grass Tree. The following species were observed in 
this class of country, "Bloodwood, Tea Tree, Scrub Box, 
Poplar Gum, Acacia flavescens, Cabbage Gum and, at the 
southern end of the portion, Stringybark. 
Zamia” is very sparsely scattered throughout the
