 The new species are as follows: 



Pultenaea Vrolandi (similar to the short-leaved typical form of 

 P. villosa Sm.^ but characterised by the cup-shaped invoiucrc-iike 

 bracteoles, the slender pedicels and the viscidity of calyx, bracteoles 

 and stipular bracts) ; P. Willianisoni (allied to P. pycndcephala, F. v. M. 

 and P. palacea, VVilld., but distinguislied by the fact that the bracteoles 

 are free from the calyx^ by the strong, robust habit, the broad, almost 

 fiat leaves and the not very abundant tomentum) ; P. Luehmauni, Sect. 

 Euchilns, allied to P. tenella, Benth., but distinct in its head-like inflore- 

 seence. F. E. Fritsch.
