of our illustration, the plea for separate treatment is un- 
usually strong. The plant here depicted differs markedly 
from true C. aristata in the longer coarsely dentate-serrate 
leaflets, and in this respect agrees more closely with certain 
specimens from New South Wales in the Kew herbarium 
which may be referable to C. coriacea, DC. These New 
South Wales specimens, however, which do not agree with 
typical C. aristata, differ also from our plant, which is a 
native of Victoria, in having considerably longer append- 
ages to the anthers. Specimens of what we believe to be 
the female state of our plant were first collected by the late 
Baron von Mueller on Mount Disappointment and in the 
Delatite valley nearly sixty years ago; the notes attached 
to these specimens show that von Mueller originally con- 
sidered the plant entitled to specific rank. More than 
half a century was to elapse before the plant attracted in 
Australia the notice that it deserves, for it was not, till 
about 1904 that it was introduced to cultivation by Mrs. J. 
Dennis, of Murngal, who had met with it on the Healesville 
ranges in Evelyn. Mr. W. R. Guilfoyle, Director of the 
Melbourne Botanic Gardens, on receiving examples, marked 
his sense of the position of the form and of the merit of its 
discoverer by naming it in her honour. Under this name, 
already familiar in Australian gardens, Mr. Guilfoyle, early 
in 1907, forwarded living examples to Messrs. I. Sander 
& Sons, in whose nursery at St. Albans our plant flowered 
in May, 1907, for the first time in Europe. This introduc- 
tion was noted at the time in the Gardeners’ Chronicle ; 
the writer of that note, while unaware of the history of 
the plant, independently formed the opinion at which Baron 
von Mueller had arrived in 1852, Later in the same year 
Messrs. Sander presented a living plant to the Kew col- 
lection. This plant, from which the material for our figure 
has been derived, has thriven well in a sunny greenhouse 
under the conditions suitable for C. indivisa, Willd., figured 
at t. 4398 of this work, which it resembles in habit and in 
being evergreen. It blossoms in May, and the flowers, 
which are fragrant, are striking on account of the salmon- 
red colour of their filaments. This character has not been 
ascribed to any of the forms hitherto referred to C. aristata, 
nor do the specimens of those at our disposal indicate its 
existence. Having regard, however, to the incertitude
