Like a good many of our brush timbers, it lias not been critically examined. 
It is pale-coloured, yellow when fresli, of moderate hardness and weight, and with 
but little figure. It is closely related to the 13olly Gum, and is probably a useful 
substitute for that timber. 
Size. —A tree of medium size, attaining a height of 50 or 60 feet, and a stem 
diameter of, say, a couple of feet. 
Habitat. —Following are the localities for this tree given by Bentliam 
(following Meissner) :— 
Seaview Range, Fraser ; Hastings River, C. Moore ; Illawarra, A. Cunningham \ Sydney Woods, 
Paris Exhibition, 1855, C. Moore, n. 5, Maearthur, n. 198, 224, 234. 
Mr. Moore’s No. 5 came from the Richmond River. 
No. 198 was Macarthur’s “Yellow-wood.” No. 224 was Macartliur’s “Teak- 
wood,” and labelled Endiandra glauca in the Paris and London Exhibition lists. 
No. 234 is described as “a small tree, yielding yellowisli-brown wood, with dark 
veins, apparently related to 19S.” 
C. microncura is an inhabitant of brushes throughout the greater part of 
coastal New South Wales, and, as Queensland is approached, it is found in mountain 
brushes at a considerable distance from the sea. 
In New South Wales we have it from Cambewarra Mountain, Kangaroo 
Valley, and the Eoxground (Kiama), these being the most southerly localities 
known to me. 
In Queensland it does not appear to have been recorded further north than 
“ Southern brushes.”
