these may specially be mentioned Cannamois cephalotes (Beauv.)

mth 3hiii. A tree of exquisite beauty, but seldom extending to 
beyond 30 feet in height. The wood is utilized for furniture.

the East Australian allied Stenocarpus sinuatus, a place in any 
sheltered gardens or parks of the warm temperate zone.

large size and when many years old. The stems, with an 
unusual tenacity of life, remain sometimes dormant after

rails, and many other purposes of house carpentry (Rev. Dr. 
Woolls).

water work, waggons, knees of boats, etc. Posts of it very 
lasting, as no decay was observed in fourteen years.
