 Argophyllum Nullumense, sp.nov. 

 {Argophyllum nitidum, LabilL, Baker, P.L.S.N.S.W. 1897, 



In Part i. of these Contributions a full description is given of 

 a plant from Nullum Mt., Murwillumbah (W.B.), accompanied 

 by a figure, placed tentatively under A. nitidum, Forst., as no 

 specimens of that species are preserved in the Colony. Since 

 publishing that description I have forwarded specimens to the 

 Directoi", Royal Gardens, Kew, England, who very kindly 

 compared them with Forster's original and writes me as follows : 

 — "Forster's specimen has smaller, entire leaves, vuich less 

 acuminate, and with slightly longer petioles. The flowei's of Mr. 

 Baker's specimens appear to be typical. A specimen collected 

 by Mr. Webb in New Caledonia has toothed leaves, but the teeth 

 are much smaller than in Mr. Baker's plant, and in other respects 

 they agree with the type." 



As it is on the differences in leaf-characters that the known 

 species of this genus are founded, and the material collected at 

 Nullum Mountain differs from both A. Lejourdani, F.v.M., and 

 A. nitidum, Forst., it is here proposed to carry out the suggestion 

 in my former paper {loc. cit.) and designate the New South Wales 

 plant as A. Nullumense.

Callistemon coccineus, F.v.M. — This species extends from the 

 South Australian bofder to almost the coast, having been collected 

 at Dinner Creek, Clyde Road, Braidwood (W. Bauerlen). 



Eucalyptus spp. 



The following localities are of interest in regard to the 

 respective species : — 



E. BosisTOANA, F.V.M. — Barber's Creek (H.R.). 



E. L.EVOPiNEA, var. MINOR, R.T.B. — Between Sutton Forest 

 and Berrima Coal Mine. Additional evidence points to this
