C. De Candolle calls the Australian species of Cedrela — C. australis, F.v.M., 
Prod. (Monograph Phanerogam), i, p. 743 (1878). 
In his revision of the Indo-Malavan species of Cedrela (Records of the 
Botanical Survey of [ndia, iii, 368), Calcutta, 1908, he includes the Australian 
Cedrela in C. Toona, Roxb., and divides it into two varieties: C. Toona var. 
australis, C.DC., and C. Toona var. parviflora, Benth. The latter variety is 
mentioned in the Flora Australiensis by Bentham. 
The chief differences are :—

to 12 cm., and 5 cm. Avide.
