Aboriginal Names. —Formerly called “Wayetuck” by the Yarra (Victoria) 
aborigines. “Dahl-wall” of the aborigines of the county of Camden, New South 
Wales, according to the late Sir William Macarthur. 
Synonyms. — C. leptoclada, Miq. Rev. Crit. Cas. 41, No. 16, t. iv, C.; Miq. 
in Ned. Kruidk. Arch, iv, 98 (1856). I have seen co-types. C. maesia, Miq. in 
Ned. Kruidk. Arch. iv. 98 (1856). The type came from near Melbourne; I have 
not seen it. Miquel places it between C. leptoclada (suberosa ) and tenuissima 
( torulosa ). 
C. rigida, Miq. Rev. Cas. 61 t. 7, D and in DC. Prod, xvi, ii, 337, “ as to 
Fraser’s specimens, may be C. suberosa ; the more robust Tasmanian specimens 
belong to C. distyla' 1 '' (B.F1. vi, 198). See also Hooker in FI. Tas. i, 348. A 
specimen from Kangaroo Island, South Australia, seen by me, is undoubtedly 
C. distyla. 
C. Miquelli, Hook. f. (according to Miquel in DC. Prod, xvi, ii, 337). This 
is stated to be in the Boissier herbarium, and is “ forma tenuior.” Neither Hooker 
(FI. Tas.) nor Bentham (B.F1.) mention it. It is stated to be a tree up to 40 feet 
in gardens, but in Tasmania a shrub near C. stricta ( quadrivalvis) and C. leptoclada 
( subei'osa ). 
C. Muelleriana, Miq. in Ned. Kruidk. Arch, iv, 98 (quoted as Regrnsb. 
Flora 1865, p. 21, by Miquel in DC. Prod, xvi, ii, 338), and C. Baxteriaoo , Miq. 
Rev. Cas. 37 t. 3 C. (Regensb. FI. 1. c.) are quoted by Miquel in DC. Prod, as 
varieties of C. suberosa. Bentham (B.F1. vi, 199) says they “appear to me both to 
belong rather to C. distyla .” 
The type of C. Muelleriana came from Mount Torrens, Lofty Ranges, South 
Australia, and as a full description is extant its identity should be ascertained by 
South Australian botanists. 
C. Baxteriana came from Western Australia. 
Leaves. —The “leaves” (branchlets) are sometimes used to a small extent 
for fodder, but this species is one of the least valuable of the She-Oaks for that 
purpose. 
Bark .—The bark of this tree is rugged-looking, with hard corky layers. 
The inner bark is reddish-brown, and displays on its inner surface the lenticular 
appearance characteristic of the genus. One analysis (Proc. Roy. Soc., N.S.W., 
1888, p. 276) of the bark gave 13 5 per cent, of tannin, but many more experiments 
require to be made before its value as a tanning material can be assessed with 
certainty. 
Timber.— It is a red timber when fresh, and has the peculiar blotchy 
markings common to most timbers of the Casuarinese. It is very fissile, and hence 
A s used for shingles. It is used to some extent for brush-backs and for Tunbridge
