Aboriginal Names. — “ Kicldar-Kiddar ” was the old aboriginal name of the 
Tweed River natives. 
“ Woggi-Amabbie ” of the Clarence and Richmond River blacks, according 
to the late Mr. Charles Moore. 
SyilOliym.— Hartighsea rufa, A. Richard, Sort. Astrolabe 29, t. 11. 
Leaves. —Pendulous in habit, bright green on the upper surface, paler 
beneath. The veins and young shoots with a rusty vestiture. 
Flowers. —They have an ill-smelling, alliaceous, almost fetid odour during 
drying, and so have the fruits. On the other hand, a label in Mueller’s hand¬ 
writing (doubtless from information at second hand) says : “ Flowers remarkably 
sweet-scented.” Perhaps an illustration of the proverb, “he gustibus non est 
disputandum ” (there is no accounting for taste). 
Fruit .—The colour of the fresh fruits is so bright as to be called golden or 
gamboge. It varies from that to orange and rust-coloured. 
I am very anxious to obtain the fruit of the Red Bean ( Dysoxylon Muelleri) 
for figuring. Will any friend on the Northern Rivers kindly bear this request in 
mind ? "What is wanted can readily be seen by a reference to the figure of any 
other Dysoxylon in this work. 
Bark. —Smooth, pale grey. 
Timber. —It is fetid (onion-like) when fresh, is a fissile soft-wood, nearly 
white, but the heart-wood deep reddish brown. A useful timber for cabinet work, 
and belonging to the Cedar class. 
“ The wood is nicely grained, and used for various purposes, but principally 
for cabinet work.”—(Walter Hill.) 
“Pale-coloured or white; heart reddish-brown.”—(District Forester Wilshire.) 
Size. —A large tree, about 80-100 feet high, girth 6-10 feet. 
Habitat. —Confined to the brushes of the Northern Rivers of New South 
Wales and southern Queensland. 
“ Fairly plentiful in the scrubs (brushes) at Nymboida and Kangaroo Creek, 
30 miles from Grafton.”—(District Forester Wilshire.) 
Not rare in the Clarence and Richmond brush forests ; also in those of the 
Macplierson Range. 
It does not appear to have been collected south of Port Macquarie.
