150 NOTES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS, SYDNEY, 



The large fruits, of the shape and size of a small billiard ball, 

 are frequently picked up in the dense brush forests of the Rich- 

 mond and Tweed Rivers, and have been known to us for many 

 years, but on account of the large size of the tree and the difficulty 

 of collecting in dense brushes we have not hitherto been able to 

 procure correctly matched flowering specimens till we succeeded 

 in interesting Dr. Goldsmid, a resident of Murwillumbah, in the 

 subject. 



In affinity it is nearest to E. Sieheri, Nees, from which it is 

 scarcely distinguished in the flowers; but its habit, foliage and 

 fruit are so different that we cannot consider it a varietv of that 

 species.*

IsoPOGON Dawsoni, R, T. Baker. 



Nepean River (W. Forsyth, September, 1898). 



Originally found by Mr. Baker in the Murrumbo Ranges, 

 Ooulburn River, in 1893, and described by him in the Proc. of 

 this Society in March, 1895. We hereby record a new locality 

 for this rare plant. 



Persoonia CHAMiEPEUCE, Lhotsky. 



Apsley Falls, near Walcha (E. Betche, December, 1898). 

 Sunny Corner and Mudgee have been recorded hitherto as the 

 most northern localities. 



Macadamia ternifolia, F.V.M., var. integrifolia. 



Described by us in the Proc. of this Society in November, 1896, 

 as M. integrifolia, n.sp., but since we have had, through Mr. 

 Luehmann's kindness, the opportunity of comparing the rich 

 material accumulated in the Melbourne Herbarium, and have 



* Since this paper was Iq type we have been favoured by ^Ir. R. T. 

 Baker with good flowering specimens collected by Mr. W. Bauerlen, near 

 Murwillumbah, in October, 1892. It is described as a "Tree of 26 ft." on 

 the label.— 23. vi. 99.
