248 XOTES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS, SYDNEY, NO.Xvii.. 



COMPOSITiE. 



Helichrysum ledifolium Beiith. New for N. S. Wales. 



Bimberi Peak, Upper Cotter, Queaubeyan, at an elevation 

 of 6200 feefc(R. H. Canibage ; January, 1912). 



The species has been previously recorded only from Tas- 

 mania, and is closely allied to some forms included by Ben- 

 tham and Mueller in //. rosniarinifnliuin Less. ; but Mr. 

 Cambage's specimens agree so closely with the type-specimens 

 from Gunn's Herbarium of Tasmanian plants, that it can 

 be classed only with U . led i folium.
