THYMELE^. 

 PiMELEA PETKiEA, MeisSll. 



Warrumbungle Ranges (W. Forsyth, October, 1899). 



The most northern and eastern locality recorded. It differs 

 irom a type specimen in the Sydney Herbarium, from Cudnaka, 

 S. Australia, in the rather larger and less numerous tiowers and 

 less hairy leaves. In 18.51 Mueller named his Cudnaka specimens 

 P. octophylla, R.Br., var. petrKa, but in the publication of his 

 Cenmis he kept the two species distinct. Our specimens from the 

 Warrumbungle Ranges approach P. octuphi/lla, and suggest that 

 after all Mueller's original view may be the correct one. 



EUPHORBIACE.a;. 

 ACALYPIIA XEMORUM, F.V.M. 



Road from Badgery's Crossing to Xowra (W. Forsyth tfe A. A. 

 Hamilton, September 1899). 



Previously recorded in New South Wales from the northern 

 brush-forests, not further south than the Hastings River. The 

 leaves of the southern specimens do not exceed | of an inch in 

 length, but, apart from the size of the leaves, we cannot find any 

 essential difference between the northern and southern specimens. 

 Female flowers and fruits not seen. 



CYCADE5:. 



Macrozamia secunda, C. Moore. 



Weddin Forest Reserve (J. H. Maiden, November, 1899). 



This rather rare Macrozamia has been found hitherto only in 

 the ranges near Dubbo and Mudgee, extending from Mudgee to 

 CoonabaraV>ran, where it gradually merges into J/, heteromera. 



The new locality extends its range considerably to the south. 



Macrozamia flexuosa, C. Moore. 



Hcone to Stewart's Brook (J. H. Maiden, August, 1899), in 

 stiff basaltic soil.
