In this iirst pari oi the forest flora four trees (Grevillea robusta, 

 A. Cunn., Ficus rubiginosa Desf., Syncarpia laurifolia Ten , Pittosporum 

 phillyraeoides DC.) are described in great detail, a plate illustrating the 

 habit and morphological characters of each. Particulars as to vernacular 

 and aboriginal names and as to the characteristic secretions of each tree 

 are also given. F. E. Fritsch. 



SALMON, C. E., Notes on Limonium. (Journal of Botany. 



Vol. XL1. 1903. No. 483. p. 65—74. Plate 449.) 



This paper contains a discussion of Statice auriculaefolia Vahl, 

 5. Dodartii üir., S 1 . occidentalis Lloyd and its variety intermedia Syme. 

 It is suggested that the retention of the iirst of these species is of little 

 value, as it is probably merely an aggregate. ■ — Evidence is brought 

 forward to show that Statice Dodartii Gir has been incorrectly recorded 

 from Portland, the specimens from that Iocality being described as 

 Limonium (= Statice) recurvum nov. spec, of which a füll description 

 and figure is given. — Finally Statice occidentalis Lloyd is discussed ; 

 this species is so variable that „almost every Iocality in B ritain seems 

 to possess a form slightly different from the plants in another Iocality". 

 Under these circumstances it is found best to include them all under the 

 name mentioned, with the exception of certain tall specimens from 

 North Wales, which constitute the variety procerum nov. var.

Sprague, T. A., n the Heteranthus S e c t i o n o f Cuphea 



(Lythraceae). (Annais of Botany. Vol. XVII. 1903. No. 65. 



p. 159—166. Plate XI.) 



The section Heteranthus originally included those species of 

 Cuphea, in which one of the two opposite flowers of each pair was older 

 than the other. The two new species described in the present paper 

 (i. e. C. tarapotensis Sprague and C. Bombonasae Sprague) have only 

 two petals and the former species is further provided with an erect disc. 

 This somewhat modifies the section Heteranthus, a revised description 

 of which is given in the following terms: Prophylla 2. (Sub-genus 

 Eucuphea). Flores opposite, in quovis pari inaequales (exe. C. Leh- 

 manni). Bracteae magnae, hypsophylloideae, ciliatae. Caulis saepius 

 pilis fuscis, crassis biseriatim obtectus. Folia opposita. Petala b, 4,
