For many years the Teak (F. australis) went under the name F. Bennettiana, 
and a caution is given on the subject. We know very little about the “ Crow’s 
Ash” ( F. Bennettiana). It is certainly a much rarer tree than the Teak. We 
know that it is pale-coloured, and that it is fissile (it is used for staves) ; hut what 
else do we know about it ? What are its properties as compared with Teak and 
Cudgerie ? 
Si/e. —Moore says it attains a height of 80 feet, and a diameter of 2 feet. 
Habitat. —The localities given in the £e Flora Australiensis ” are — 
Queensland. —Wide Bay (Bidwill) ; Brisbane Biver, Moreton Bay (A. 
Cunningham, Fraser, W. Hill). 
New South Wales.— Clarence Biver (Beckler). 
It is a brush tree, and we know very little about its distribution. We do 
not know its precise southern range, nor are we able to say, with a close approxi¬ 
mation to accuracy, its relative abundance on any particular area. 
It is represented in the National Herbarium, Sydney, from the following 
localities :— 
New South Wales .—Tweed Biver (Mrs. Grime) ; Linder.dale, Lismore, 
“10-15 feet,” also Lismore, “40-00 feet, 9-1S inches diameter” (W. Baeuerlen) ; 
Experimental Farm, Wollongbar; Bichmond Biver (J. A. Henderson) ; Beserve, 
Hal wood, Bichmond Biver (W. W. M r atts) ; Three-mile Scrub, Byron Bay (W. 
Forsyth); Stroud district (the late Augustus Budder), no specific locality given, 
and, therefore, doubtful. 
Queensland. —Brisbane (J. L. Boorman) ; Eumundi (F. M. Bailey); Gympie 
(F. Hamilton-Kenny). 
I invite correspondence in regard to this tree. 
Propagation. —It is readily cultivated from seed. 
But if we know little of this tree in the forest, it is the best-known of all the 
Flindersias in cultivation in Sydney. It is a handsome avenue tree. Its large, 
glossy leaflets, with a profusion of large white masses of smallish flowers, borne on a 
neat, erect trunk, render it a valuable addition to any garden of trees. It appears 
to be perfectly hardy in the Sydney climate.
