As the matter of distinguishing between F. australis and F. Schottiana is of 
importance, T would emphasise the following :—-They can he readily distinguished by 
the leaves ; the leaflets in F. Schottiana are sessile or nearly so, with a broad very 
oblique base, except the terminal odd one; in F. australis, they are narrowed 
into a conspicuous petiole and scarcely oblique at the base. 
The identification of the Teals and Cudgerie will also lead, it is believed, to a 
modification of the Timber Regulations. The minimum girth, there prescribed, for 
Cudgerie ( F. Schottiana ) is 6 feet, and the minimum falling girth for Teak 
(F. australis) is 4 ft. 6 in. It would appear to be more generally applicable to 
reverse these measurements, so that the Teak should be a minimum girth of 6 feet 
and the Cudgerie 4 ft. 6 in. Some Teak is from 8 to 10 feet in girth, and even 
more than that. 
Cudgerie does not commonly measure more than 6 feet around at the butt, 
although I have seen it up to 10 feet. 
Aboriginal Names. —“ Wvagerie ” is an aboriginal name on the Clarence 
River, perhaps referable to this species. (See below, under F. Greavesii.) But, in 
dealing with F. Schottiana , in the next Part, I will show that the name may belong 
to that species also, and I trust correspondents will enable me to clear the matter up. 
Synonym. — F. Greavesii, C. Moore. Under No. LXIII (Catalogue of 
timbers of the Northern Districts of New South Wales at the London International 
Exhibition of 1862), the late Mr. Charles Moore described a Flindersia in the 
following words :— 
Flindersia Greavesii (Moore), Flintamendosa (vernacular name); “ Wyagerie ” (aboriginal name): 
mountain brushes on the Clarence. A magnificent tree. The monarch of the northern forests, attaining 
a height of 150 feet, 3 to 6 feet in diameter, distinguishable from every other species of the genus by its 
dark brown and rough scaly bark, as well as by other characters. Timber used for house-building 
purposes. 
Mr. Moore’s type herbarium specimen in the National Herbarium, Sydney, 
is labelled :— 
This is different from australis in the tree attaining a much larger size, in the bark being much 
more scaly and of a brown colour, in the falcate nearly sessile leaflets and more angular petioles. 
The herbarium specimen is F. Schottiana, E.v.M. “ Angular foot-stalks to 
the leaves” are seen in F. australis only. 
For many years there has been a tree in the Sydney Botanic Gardens 
labelled by Mr. Moore Flindersia Greavesii, C. Moore (Lower Garden, 31). It is F. 
australis, R.Br. Mr. Moore’s description of the bark of F. Greavesii can only apply 
to the Teak (F. australis). 
Mr. W. A. B. Greaves, after whom the tree was named, gave me a fruit 
which he stated was that of “ Greavesii.” It is F. australis. F. Greavesii is really 
a nomen nudum, but Mr. Moore’s name is so well known, at least in New South 
Wales, that it appears desirable to fully explain it to save further confusion. I have
