Abstract
The paper by Duke et al. [Aust. J. Bot. (1981) 29, 135-421 on growth rings in a mangrove tree of
Diospyros is discussed. The authors seek to demonstrate a relationship between annual rainfall, annual
growth and growth rings but both the techniques they employ and the close dependence of growth
upon annual rainfall seem dubious. An alternative interpretation of the data is presented using climatic
growth indices.
