I may mention that, in three S.E. Queensland distrinct native languages the names of the white-flowered teatree (Melaleuca leucadendron) are, respectively, (phonetically spellednamboor, ngoodoor and woodhooroo.

Incidentally, I might mention that "tee" is the Kabi (Wide Bay) name for the tallow-wood tree (Eucalyptus microcorys).

I have not committed the names Kuranda and Millaa Millaa to the usual forms as knowledge of the names is not personal.

Yours faithfully FJWatson Associate Member.
