rich alluvial deposits (J. L. Boorman; Sept. 1904, in bud; and Dee. 
1904, in flower and fruit). 
Our new species is most nearly allied to L. macrophyllum Grah. 
10. Boronia granitica Maiden et Betche, l. c., p. 357. 
A compact erect shrub from 3 to 6 feet high, with a stem over 
1 inch thick near the ground; and with densely stellate-hairy young 
branches. Leaves pinnate, generally with 11 to 17 leaflets; the leaflets 
linear-lanceolate with much recurved margins, about 2 to 4 lines long, 
the terminal odd on the shortest; rhachis winged, with recurved margins, 
so that the segments of the rhachis between the pairs of leaflets 
resemble the leaflets in size and shape, the whole leaf rarely above 
1 inch long, slightly stellate-hairy. Peduncles axillary, much shorter than 
the leaves, densely stellate-hairy, 1-or 3 flowered. Sepals lanceolate, 
rather, acute, densely tomentose outside and inside, about 2 lines long. 
Petals valvate in bud, lanceolate, about or above twice as long as the 
sepals, somewhat tomentose outside and with a prominent midrib, very 
Slightly hairy inside, vieux rose in colour, the fully expanded flower 
1 inch in diameter. Stamens unequal in length, the sepaline ones twice 
as long as the petaline ones; filaments ciliate in the lower half, rough 
with short asperities in the upper part; anthers all prominently api- 
culate. Ovarium glabrous, with a short glabrous style slightly thickened 
at the stigmatie end.

The affinity of B. granitica is undoubtedly closest to B. ledifolia. 
J. Gay; in fact the flower in all its parts is quite identical with that 
Species, but the foliage and habit are so strikingly different that we 
cannot include it in its varieties without being longically compelled to 
unite the whole group of allied Boronias, from B. ledifolia to B. mollis 
and B. Fraseri. The pinnate-leaved forms of B. ledifolia are always 
variable, the 3-foliolate form of leaves merging into the pinnate form. 
But our new species is as constant as B, pinnata itself. 
It grows in the fissures of granite rocks at one of the highest 
elevations in the vicinity of Howell township, 19 miles southeast of 
Inverell. 
11. Pultenaea cinerascens Maiden et Betche, l. c., p. 361. 
An erect dense-growing shrub, 1 to 2 feet high, with white-tomen- 
tose young branches becoming glabrous with age. Leaves alternate, 
crowded and clustered from the shortness of the lateral branchlets, 
shortly petiolate, linear with revolute margins, leaving only the midrib 
visible underneath, generally 4 lines long, rather acute, with a short 
often recurved point, but not pungent; stipules lanceolate, acuminate, 
brown and conspicuous on the white young shoots but deciduous and 
soon disappearing. Flowers solitary, nearly sessile in the axils of the 
upper leaves or apparently terminal and a few together on the short 
lateral branchlets, but without persistent bracts, and never forming
