Bailey, F. M., Contributions to the Flora oi Queens- 

 land. (Queensland Agric. Journ. Vol. XIV. Part. I. Jan. 

 1904.) 



This is a description of a few species, comprised under 9 Orders, 

 being apparently a supplementary addition to a previous work of his. 

 New or additional descriptions are given of 2 new species: Gardenia 

 merikin Bail. and Leucosmia Chermsideana Bail., of the latter a photo- 

 graph of both a flowering and fruiting branch, with details of the flower 

 and fruit are given. W. C. Worsdell.

Notes on D. ferrugineus Miller, D. fruticosus L v D. pumilus Vahl, 

 D. strictus Banks and Soland. in connection with Mr. F. N. William's 

 Monograph. There is a specimen of D. pumilus in the National Herb, 

 at the Brit. Museum from Forskähl, written up by Vahl and easily 

 recognisable. F. E. Fritsch. 



Bean, W. J., Hex Pernyi Franchet. (Gardeners Chronicle. 



Vol. XXXV. No. 898. 1904.) 



This hails from C e nt ral Chi na. It was first discovered by Abbe 

 Pernyi about 50 years ago in Kuichu; afterwards it was found by Dr. 

 Henry in Patung, and was introduced to cultivation by Veitch 

 through Mr. E. H. Wilson. While it bears a resemblance to some of 

 the small-Ieaved varieties of Hex Aquifolium, it is perfectly distinct from 

 all the hollies in cultivation. According to Henry it grows 20 or 30 

 feet high, but is dense-growing and compact in habit The leaves are 

 small compared with those typical of our native Holly, but are similar 

 in texture and lustre; they are 3 I* in. to l 1 /* in. long, very short-stalked, 

 and ovate-lanceolate in outline; the lower half of the leaf is armed with 

 from one to three pairs of rigid, spiny teeth on the margin, whilst the 

 terminal half is in the form of a narrow triangle with a spine-tipped apex. 

 In texture the foliage is stiff and coriaceous, in colour a deep, shiny 

 green. The fruit is globose and red. W. C. Worsdell.

In der Einleitung giebt Verf. einen kurzen Ueberblick über Topo- 

 graphie, Hydrographie und über den geologischen Aufbau, sowie eine Zu- 

 sammenstellung der bisher erschienenen botanischen Publikationen des 

 Gebietes. Folgt eine systematische Aufzählung der Gefässpflanzen nach 

 olgenden 3 Kategorien: 



( a) Ubiquisten der Bergregion 1400 — 2000 m. 



J b) Ubiquisten Waldregion bis zu den obersten Culturen 600 bis 



| 1500 m. 



I c) Seltene oder für das Gebiet bezeichnende Arten. 



Im Folgenden sind die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der kleinen Mono- 

 graphie zusammengefasst. 



1. Die Flora des Fillieremassiv gliedert sich in die Waldregion mit 

 Buche und Fichte, in die subalpine Region mit Rhododendron, 

 Juniperus nana und Pinus pumila. Die alpinen Elemente sind 

 nur von localer Verbreitung, so z. B. Poa cenisia, Saxifraga 

 oppositifolia, Androsace helvetica, Linaria alpina, Aronicum 

 scorpioides, Artemisia Mutellina.
