Addenda (Flindersias ). 
Information is desired in regard to the following trees :— 
The following extract is taken from Mr. Charles Moore’s list of Indigenous 
Timbers of the Northern Districts (London Exhibition of 1862). 
1. XIII. Flindersia sp., “ Wobul ” of the aborigines ; Richmond River. A handsome, moderate¬ 
sized tree, unknown to the settlers, although occurring in most of the brushes. 
2. Flindersia Selwyniana, F.M. Diameter 12 to 16 inches; height, 60 to 70 feet. This species 
occurs plentifully in the scrubs near the coast. It is of slender growth. The wood is soft, and soon 
perishes when exposed. ( Catal. of the Natural and Industrial Products of Queensland, London Exhibition, 
1862 ; specimens of woods forwarded by Walter Hill, Director, Botanic Garden, Brisbane.) 
I wrote to the late Baron von Mueller on the subject. He replied, “ Flindersia 
Selwyniana not so named by me, and name not traceable here.” 
It may, of course, not be a Elindersia.
