Timber. —We know nothing about the timber of the tree, only small twigs 
haying been collected ; and I know of no notes on the tree, though it is very probable 
Dr. Beckler made some observations. 
The object of publishing this illustration is to draw attention to this tree, in 
the hope that it may be re-discovered. Several of our native trees are only known 
from fragments of leaves and a flower or two. Our territory is so extensive that 
this is not surprising, and much botanical exploration work requires to be done yet. 
I imagine this tree will be found in the brushes of the Upper Clarence, perhaps cut 
for Rosewood or Red Bean. It should also be looked for in the Acacia Creek and 
other Macpherson Range forests. 
Size. —Unknown. 
Habitat. —The only locality known to me is Clarence River, New South 
Wales, where it was originally collected by Beckler. It was also collected on the 
Clarence by the late Mr. Wilcox, of Grafton. 
Mr. Bailey, “The Queensland Mora,” i, 231, records it as “southern portions 
of the Colony,” which is vague. 
So that it occurs on the Northern Rivers of New South W T ales, and in that 
part of Queensland adjacent thereto. Like all species of Dysoxylon, it is, doubtless, 
a brush tree. 
APPENDIX. 
Additional Notes on Dysoxylon. 
1. Dysoxylon Forsteri, C.DC. 
I have already illustrated and described five species of Dysoxylon for 
New South Wales. 
M. Casimir De Candolle, the eminent monographer of the Meliacese, 
adds a sixth species to the New South Wales Dysoxyla, viz.:— 
D. Forsteri, C.DC. in Monogr. Phan., i, 507, from the Pacific Islands (in 
insulis Namoka, Rotterdam, A r avao), and from the Clarence River, New South 
Wales; specimens from the latter locality are said to have been sent by Mueller 
to the Paris Herbarium. Muelier himself ignores the species in his Second 
Census, and, as we have no evidence of it in the Herbarium, I prefer to omit 
the species for the present, but invite the attention of collectors to its possible 
presence in the Northern brush forests. 
The plant was described under the name of Trichilia alliacea in 
Forster’s “Florulee Insularum Australium Prodromus ” (1786). “No. 1S9, 
T. alliacea, foliis pinnatis, foliolis lanceolatis acutis; racemis axillaribus 
supradecompositis, F., Namoka.” Forster figured the plant, but the plates are 
not published, and I have a tracing from Forster’s unpublished drawing in the 
British Museum. This was kindly supplied by Mr. Edmund Baker, of the 
Department of Botany of the British Museum.
