DILLENIACE5;. 

 HiBBERTIA STKICTA, R.Br., vai". PEDUNCULATA, var.UOV. 



Perfectly glabrous, with creeping and rooting stems. Flowers 

 on pedicels attaining 6 lines in length. Stamens rarely more than 

 4, the filaments united. Carpels quite glabrous. 



Wingello (J. L. Boorman, November, 1899). 



This well marked variety approaches Bentham's variety leio- 

 carpa, with which it has in common the procumbent habit and 

 the glabrous carpels, but it is distinguished by the rooting stems 

 and the long peduncles, which do not exceed 3 lines in any other 

 of the numerous varieties of H. stricta. 



CEUCIFER.a:. 

 Lepidium ruderale, Linn., var. spinbscens, Benth. 



Narrabri (J. H. Maiden, November, 1899). 

 The spinescent form is only recorded from South Australia in 

 the Flora Anstr-aliensis. 



RUTACEiE. 

 Eriostemon trachyphyllus, F.v.M. 



Badgery's Crossing to Nowra (W. Forsyth & A. A. Hamilton, 

 September, 1899); near Botany Bay, Sydney (J. L. Boorman, 

 October, 1899). 



The most northern locality previously recorded is Braidwood. 

 In the Nowra specimens the flowers are frequently in clusters of 

 three in the leaf-axils.
