This timber appears to be of little merit. It is small as a rule, and is used for 
firewood locally. 
District Forester Marriott, of Dubbo, says of it:— 
This Oak is chiefly used for firewood in this district, and is considered one of the best timbers for 
this purpose. Used for rails and fencing purposes. 
Mr. Walter Gill, Conservator of Forests, Adelaide, says of it:— 
Timber of rather large figure ; durable for fencing-posts. 
Size. —It is a tree of small or medium size, say up to 40 feet in height, with 
a stem diameter of a foot. 
Habitat. —This species occurs in New South Wales and Queensland ; also in 
South Australia and Victoria. It is a species I expect to be found in "Western 
Australia near the South Australian border. 
Soutii Australia. 
Mr. Walter Gill, Conservator of Forests, Adelaide, sent it to me in 1897 from 
the Wolseley district, later from nearer Border town. This is but a stone’s throw 
from Victorian territory. 
Mr. Gill has also found it near the Frances Bail way Station, several miles 
due south of Bordertown, and nearer Narracoorte. Surely search will find it is not 
confined to the extreme south-east of South Australia. 
Victoria. 
Mr. Cambage found this species at Serviceton, and 
Subsequently I found that the species extends about 12 miles into the latter State (South Australia), 
while it is within sight of the railway for many miles in Victoria, near Horsham, Murtoa, Lubeck, Ac. 
(R. H. Cambage, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xxvi, 320.) 
Queensland. 
In Queensland Scortechini found it about Roma, as already noted, and Mr. 
Boorman and I have found it at Warialda and Emmavillc, New South Wales, localities 
creeping towards the Queensland border. Other Queensland localities will readily 
be found now that the identity of the species has been clearly established. 
New South Wales. 
In this State it belongs to the drier parts, e.g., the western plains and 
western slopes, while some eastern localities, e.g., Singleton, &c., are interesting 
because they represent districts in which the western orErenuean flora has descended 
to comparatively near the coast.
