Actinotiis Forsythii, n. sp., a flannel flower intermediate in size 

 between A. Helianthi and A. niUior, and the only East Australian 

 species with petals is described, from Blackheath (W. Forsyth). Its 

 dosest ally is the West Australian A. leiicocephalns , but differs in 

 its peculiar fruit with denselj^ ciliate edges. It is a rather ornamental 

 plant, and the discovery of such a prominent plant in the Blue Moun- 

 tains should stimulate the activity of coUectors. The following new 

 varieties are described: — Asterolasia correifolia , Benth., var. mollis 

 (A. niollis, Benth.); Dodonaea pediincidaris , Lindl. var. hirsiita , from 

 Jennings, N. S.W.; and Pimelea ligiistrina, Labill, \2ir. glabra, from 

 the Kiandra district. The following species are additions to the flora 

 of New South Wales: Acacia rhigiophylla , F. v. M., West Wyalong 

 (R. H. Cambage); Ficus Heuneana, Miq., National Park, Sydney (M. 

 Bell); Cyperns laevigatus, Linn., Manning River (E. Cheel); Uncinia 

 teyiella, R. Br., Mt. Wilson (Jesse Gregson), usefuUy supplementing the 

 Katoomba record by Mr. A. A. Hamilton. The paper concludes with 

 critical and geographical notes on a number of other species.
