Cedrela Taona, Roxburgh.^*

The Singapore Cedar. A mere variety of this is the Red Cedar of East Australia (Cedrela Australis, Cunn.) The light beautiful wood, easily worked and susceptible of high polish, is much in request for page 20 furniture, for the manufacture of pianofortes, for boat-building and a variety of other work. As this important tree is largely extirpated in the cedar brushes, it is highly desirable to form of it in our rich forest gullies independent plantations for future local supply. The Red Cedar is hardy at Melbourne, but in our open exposed gardens and poor soil of slow growth.
