Eucalyptus marginata (jarrah)

Wikipedia Abstract

Eucalyptus marginata, commonly known as jarrah, is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia where it is one of most common species of Eucalyptus tree. The tree and the wood are usually referred to by the Aboriginal name "jarrah"' and because of the similar appearance of worked jarrah timber to the Honduras mahogany, jarrah was once called Swan River mahogany after the river system that runs through Perth.
