Botanical Name.— Flindersia ,already explained, p. 210, PartX; Schottiana, 
in honour of Heinrich Schott, Director of the Imperial Zoological and Botanical 
Garden of Vienna. 
Vernacular Names. —The aboriginal name “ Cudgerie ” has become its 
common vernacular name. The late Mr. Augustus Rudder sent it under the names 
of “ Ash ” and “Stave-wood.” “ Mountain Ash ” is not an uncommon name. I 
may say that a great many pale-coloured timbers, more or less fissile, go by the 
names of “ Ash ” and “ Stave-wood ” in Australia. 
I believe it to be one of the trees which has passed under the name 
“Flindosa.” The origin of this name I have been unable to trace, and would 
suggest that it is a timber-man’s rendering of Flindersia. We have the same word 
in “Flindosy Beech,” sometimes applied to the tree. 
Aboriginal Names. —“ Cudgerie,” or “ Cudgcry,” of Northern New South 
"Wales and Southern Queensland. “ Bunji-Bunji,” of the aborigines of Hcrberton, 
Queensland—(J. F. Bailey). 
Cudgerie and Teak. —Under F. australis p. 151, Part XVII, I have 
already drawn attention to the confusion that has existed for so many years between 
“ Cudgerie” (F. Schottiana ) and Teak (F. australis ). The matter is of considerable 
importance, as “Cudgerie” was almost invariably referred to as F. australis until 
the publication of my warning. I believe the following trees, referred to by Moore 
in the Catal. of N.S.TF. Timbers, London Fxli., 1S62, belong to F. Schottiana :— 
(xxiv).— Flindersia australis ; Ash, Beech, and Flindosa; Wyagerie or Cugerie ; Clarence and 
Richmond. 
A large-sized tree of very general occurrence in the northern districts; from 80 to 100 feet in 
height, and from 2 to 4 feet in diameter. Timber valuable for staves, for which purpose it is extensively 
used in the Clarence district. 
(lxi).— -Flindersia australis, var. Flindosa. Wyagerie. Mountain and river brushes, near Grafton, 
on the Clarence. 
A tree similar to xxiv, from which it differs in being smaller in every respect: in the wood being 
more compact, of a yellowish tinge, and difficult to split; and particularly in the stems being smooth 
without internode-like swellings as in that species. Timber used for house building, and occasionally for 
staves. 
Leaves. —Leaflets bright green and shiny in the upper surface; pale green 
and dead dull on the lower ; nearly cordate at base sometimes, except the terminal 
one. 
To look at the leaves on a growing Cudgerie in the distance, the leaves look larger than the Teak 
leaves, but upon obtaining them we find they are not larger. The leaves are a beautiful dark green, and 
have a pleasing appearance when on the tree, reminding one of the Silky Oak (Grevillea robusta) —(W, Dunn.)
