This is very close to Mlcromijrltis ro&ea^ comb. nov. (^Thrf/ptomene rosea^ 

 E. Pritz.), but a close scrutiny of its curious little sbield-like leaves will at 

 once show it to be different. There are also floral discrepancies. 



BaecJcea ramosissima^ A. Cunn.^ in Field's N. S. Wales, p. 349 (1825)^ is 

 not noticed in the 'Flora Australiensis' j it is founded on Cunningham's 

 No. 5 of the 1822 colb, and comes from the Blue Mountains. In every way 

 conspecific with B, dtffiisay Sieb. in DO. Prod. iii. 230 (1828)^ Cunningham's 

 name must take priority over Siebcr'^s.
