We had better first make sure from Director of Forests 
that Maple trees are suitable.

I am afraid that this department has little information 
to offer regarding the suitability, or otherwise, of 
Flindersia Brayleana for this country. The tree is a 
native of the Queensland tablelands, where the annual 
rainfall exceeds 50 inches, but where the climate is almost 
certainly temperate. 
2. It is just possible, however, that the tree may have 
been tried at one time <fcr another in the Botanic Gardens, 
Singapore, and I would therefore suggest reference to 
the Director of Gardens.

C.S, 
We have two trees of Flindersia Brayleana, planted out 
3i years ago. Both have grown well, and I think are 
likely to be successful. They are said to be tall handsome 
trees when full grown.
