Botanical Name. Wcinmannia, ill honour of Johanu Wilhelm Woinmann, 
apotbekcr (pharmacist), Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany. lie was the author of 
the works enumerated at 10139 and 10140 of Pritzel, viz. " Thesaurus rei herbarioc " 
(1787), and " Phytanthozaiconographia " &c., an illustrated work in four volumes, 
folio (1737-15) ; rublfolia, Latin rubus, a bramble or blackberry-bush, folium, a leaf. 
Vernacular Name. I know of none that can with certainty be applied to 
it. I have known it to be called "Corkwood" and " Marrara," but probably 
through some confusion with other trees. I have therefore no alternative but to 
propose the cumbrous name " Bramble-leaved Weinmannia " until such time as the 
public invent one for themselves. 
Aboriginal Name. I know of none. 
Synonym. Geissois rublfolia F.v.M., as already indicated. 
Timber. Timber close-grained, tough, and easily wrought; considered to be 
an excellent timber, but not much used. 
Size. Particulars as to the size of this tree are discrepant. Personally I 
have not seen it larger than a small tree of, say, 20 feet, with a stem diameter of a 
few inches, but the late Mr. Augustus Rudder, a man of great experience, once 
sent me twigs of it with the note that the tree attained a height of 120 feet and a 
trunk diameter of 2 feet G inches. I think this is a mistake. I shall be glad of 
correspondence on the subject. 
Habitat. The lype came from Cloud's Creek, a tributary of Clarence 
River, New South "Wales (Beckler), from which it extends to southern Queensland. 
Its known southern limit is the Upper Hunter. Following are some specimens 
represented in the National Herbarium, Sydney : 
6-3 feet. On the fringe of the scrubs on the way up from bottom to top of 
Barrington Tops, 5,100 feet (./. L. Boorman.) 
Piri Brush, Upper Hunter (Dr. Leichhardt, January, 1843); Upper 
Gloucester, 120 feet high, 2 feet 6 inches in diameter (A. Rudder) ; Comboyne 
Brush, via Tarce ; Ellenborough Falls (J.H.M.) ; Dorrigo (W. Heron, J. L. 
Boorman) ; to 12 feet, Meld rum (Guy Fawkes Falls) (J. L. Boorman). 
It is a brush tree, a denizen of localities well watered and with deep soil.
