I am also sending you a piece of “Black Apple” wood which was in the old “Wileshro’” house 
for eighty years. When the house was pulled down it was found that the “ white ants ” had eaten 
completely all the hardwoods, and some of the Beech and Cedar, but the “ Apple ” had been left entirely. 
I did not notice any piece showing any sign of decay either.—(Mr. Forest Guard George Tingcombe, 
Beechwood, Hastings River.) 
Black Apple (called by some Plum), grows about 100 feet, 6 feet girth, trunk deeply ridged ; 
timber brownish-yellow, useless except for firewood, good burner and chopper.—(Robert Kaleski, Dorrigo.)

THE SMOOTH-BARKED APPLE. 
(Natural Order Myrtacea:.) 
Timber. —See vol. ii, p. 17. 
The “plastic” appearance of the trunk has been referred to. I would also 
like to draw attention to the fact that the branches of this tree display considerable 
tendency to fuse together when brought into contact, some of the combinations 
taking on a looping or anastomosing character, sometimes of a grotesque appearance. 
I am indebted for photographs exhibiting such phenomena to Mr. J. B. Henson, 
engineer of the Newcastle Water Supply, and the Hon. J. B. Nash, M.D., M.L.C., 
both of whom obtained their subjects in the Newcastle district, and to Mr. Keith 
Harris, whose pictures came from Hazelbrook, Blue Mountains. 
Exudations. —See vol. ii, p. 18.
