Harbour, in its glabrous leaves, glossy-green on the upper side. In my 

 pellis pubescentibus 3— 4-ovulatis. — South Australia: Frequent in 

 the Mount Lofty Ranges and often growing near H, stricta R. Br. Men- 

 tioned in 1862 by Mueller in Plants Indigenous to the Colony of Vic- 

 toria, I, 17, where, after describing H. acicularis, he wrote: — „0n 

 stony mountains at Glen Osmond, in the Bugle Ranges and towards 

 Mount Remarkable (within the colony of South Australia), occurs a clo- 

 sely allied species, of which the fruit is as yet unknown. It differs 

 chiefly in higher erect growth and glabrous sepals." In Pragmenta, XI, 

 H. acictdaris with sessile flowers is mentioned as growing on the Lod- 

 don and at Stawell, as well as in South Australia, but the variety was 

 not named by Mueller, as far as I known. This appears to be the only 

 form of the species in South Australia. It is distinguished from H^ 

 stricta by its narrow, pungent-pointed leaves, glossy on the upper sur- 

 face. As forms with both sessile and pedicellate flowers are admitted 

 under if. stricta there seems no reason Avhy the definition of JT. acicvlaris 

 should not be widened in the same way.

 aquatica glabra, rhizomate stolonifero, caule erecto sulcato fistuloso ra- - 

 moso, foliis pinnatisectis inferioribus 8— 10-jugatis, foliolis ovato-oblongis 

 sessilibus aequaliter serratis base truncatis, foliis superioribus pauci- 

 jugatis, foliolis inaequaliter inciso-dentatis, floribus albis, umbellis pe- 

 dunculatis 8— 12-radiatis oppositifoliis et terminalibus, involucri et in- 

 volucelli bracteis 4 — 8 lineari-lanceolatis saepius integris, calycis dentibus 

 obsoletis, petalis albis emarginatis cum acumine inflexo, fructu parvulo 

 subgloboso (IV4 mm longo) a latere compresso ad commissuram con- 

 stricto, mericarpii jugis angustis, vittis sub pericarpio sitis solitariis 

 latis totam valleculam occupantibus, carpophore bipartite cruribusmeri- 

 carpio plus minus adnato. — South Australia: Growing in or close 

 to running water at National Park, Belair, at Willunga, and beside North 

 Para River, Nuriootpa. In habit, carpophore, and petals this species 

 might belong to Slum, but the absence of calyx-teeth and the solitary 

 vittas are not characters of that genus. Specimens forwarded to two 

 great botanical establishments have been determined variously as Slum 

 latifdium L., and^ S. erectum Huds. {S. angustifolium L.), evidently without 

 examination of the fruit. In the Naturalized Flora of S. A., p. 71, I 

 specimen they are shorter than in the typical form (4—5 mm as against 



7 — 8 mm). The Museum of Economic Botany contains specimens of var. 

 glabrifolitis from Kangaroo Island. 



1058. Eucalyptus falcata Turcz. var. ecostata J. H. Maiden, in 

 Journ. W. Austr. Nat. Hist. Soc, III (1911), p. 173. — The calyx- 

 tube of this species is often free or nearly so from furrowing 

 (or ribbing), and the same applies to the fruits. I propose to con-
