The species varies in the size of the leaves and of the domatia. Sometimes 
they are almost ahsent. References to domatia will be found at pages 83 and 148 
of Vol. Ill of the present work. 
Flo\VCrs. The inflorescence is soft, feathery and graceful, and the species 
well worthy of cultivation in the shrubbery, partly on that account. Later on it 
becomes too large for a small garden. 
Timber. It is likely to prove of value, but it is one of many timbers 
imperfectly known. It is hardly to be distinguished from that of Eucryphia 
Moorei. When fresh it is drab with a purplish cast, close in the grain, tough, and 
dresses with facility. 
The late Mr. Augustus Rudder, an experienced forester, said of it : "I am 
inclined to think that, for some purposes, it will also prove of exceptional value. For 
instance, butter boxes, carving, headings, and mouldings, &c., as it is fine in the grain 
and very easy to work, being free from knots and splinters. On the Coast country 
it is small, but on some inland mountain brushes I have seen it with good clear 
boles up to 2 and 3 feet in diameter. In some parts of Forest Reserves 101 and 
102, near the head of the Williams River, I have seen it of these sizes, and it is 
fairly plentiful." 
Mr. N. Stewart, when Forest Guard of Glen Innes, reported : " I believe 
this will be a useful timber for cabinet work in the future. It has not been tested 
here yet, as it is rather far from market ; not very plentiful." 
Size. Usually a medium-sized tree, but under favourable circumstances it 
becomes a large tree. 
In the Dorrigo it is (or was) a magnificent tree of great height. 
" Up to 3 feet in diameter in some of the mountain scrubs of the Gloucester 
district" (A. Rudder). 
" Slim tree of 40 feet, 15 feet to first branch, girth 22 inches at 3 feet." 
Bellinger River (E. H. F. Swain). 
"Forty feet in height, and 12 to 18 inches in diameter." Ourimbah 
(A. Murphy). 
Habitat. It is a native of Eastern New South Wales and Queensland. 
It is confined to the coastal districts, or to the gullies of the mountain ranges, 
having an easterly aspect. It has been recorded from as far south as the Hawkes- 
bury River, but its range in Southern Queensland is not yet ascertained. 
It is in the National Herbarium, Sydney, from the following localities: 
New South Wales. Ourimbah (A. Murphy) ; Boolambayte (A. Rudder) ; 
" Pink Corkwood," Tarce district (Dist. Forester Hardiman) ; Port Macquaric (,T. L. 
Boorman) ; Upper Hastings River, ascent to table-land (J. H. Maiden) ; Bucca
