Aboriginal Name. —I know of no aboriginal name. 
Synonym.— C. hypospodia, E.v.M. (Eragm., v. 170). 
Leaves—Oil. —Tile leaves are slightly aromatic, but I have not heard that 
they have been distilled for oil. They are thickish, often obovate, and usually 
glaucous on the under side. 
Timber. —This is one of the brush timbers whose use is not usually 
differentiated from that of other timbers. Yet it is often employed when a soft, 
easily obtained, easily worked timber is sufficient for rough purposes. It is pale- 
coloured, but it dries to a dirty colour, and is not very durable. At the same time 
very little is known about this timber, and one of the objects of this Eorest Elora is 
to shed light upon it, and to endeavour to learn more about the numerous brush 
timbers of this class, so that we may be able to appraise them fairly. It is not my 
object to unduly praise or disparage a timber, and I shall endeavour to deal 
impartially with them all. 
Bailey speaks of the Queensland timber as of a light colour, close-grained 
and tough, and a useful wood if not exposed to the weather. 
Size. —Up to say 100 feet in height, with a trunk diameter of 2 or 3 feet. 
Habitat. —It is found in the coastal brushes of New South Wales and 
Queensland, but its southern and northern (nor indeed its western) limits are not 
very precisely defined. Its southernmost limit known to me is the Port Stephens 
district; its most western that ofGlendon, near Singleton, where it was collected by 
Leichhardt. 
As regards Queensland, if it has been collected farther north than Dallachy’s 
old locality of Rockingham Bay, I am not aware of it.
