Following is another report from Mr. Boorman to me :— 
It reaches the height of 80-140 feet, whilst its girth measurements are anything between 20-40 feet. 
Here is another report from Mr. Bunn :— 
You are aware the tree grows large in circumference, although not so extra tall. Yesterday I put a 
measuring tape around twelve of these standing trees. The largest gave a girth of 18| feet, and the smallest 
12 feet; the twelve averaged 16 feet in circumference, measured 5 feet from the ground. To reckon each 
tree to carry a barrel 50 feet in length, with a mean or average girth of 16 feet, works out a return of 
115,200 super, feet; this, at 12d. per 100 feet super, (the present royalty rates here on all brush timber 
other than Pine [Hoop]), amounts to £57 12s. royalty. 
It will thus he seen that the Bosewood is one of the giants amongst New 
South Wales forest trees. 
Habitat. —This is a “ brush ” or jungle timber found in northern New South 
Wales from Wyong (a little north of the Hawkesbury) to southern Queensland. 
It was collected by Bobert Brown on the Williams Biver, and, far later, by 
Wilcox and Beckler on the Clarence Biver. 
It is plentiful on the ranges at the head of the Richmond.—(A. H. Yabsley, Coraki.) 
There is an abundant supply of Rosewood on the Clarence River water shed of the Macpherson 
Range, and the Tooloon and other brushes.—(W. Dunn.) 
It seems almost superfluous to give a list of localities.

Quantity available, — Practically unlimited. I look upon this as a 
valuable reserve timber. Its usefulness will he realised later on, when Cedar is 
even scarcer than it is.
