CONVOLVULACEyE. 

 PoRANA SERiCEA F.v.M. New foF New South Wales. 



Cobar (Archdeacon F. E. Haviland ; October, 1911). 



The species has hitherto been recorded only from West- 

 ern Australia and Northern Australia. The new locality, 

 Cobar, suggets that its range extends across Australia to 

 the west and north coast, though it is not mentioned in 

 Bailey's "Queensland Flora," nor in Tates "Flora of South 

 Australia." 



THYMELE^. 

 Phaleria Nkumanni F.v.M. 



Brushy Mountain, near Gloucester (J. H. Maiden; September, 

 1897;. 



Queensland is given as the habitat of this plant in Muel- 

 ler's Census: we recorded it for New South Wales in 1906, 

 from specimens collected at Acacia Creek, Macpherson 

 Range, on the border of Queensland. This new locality 

 brings its range about 150 miles further south. The speci- 

 mens are in bud only, and the flower-heads are enclosed in 

 two broad involucral bracts. The number of involucral 

 bracts should be 4 to 6, according to Bentham's description; 

 but the foliage and habit of the Brushy Mountain specimens 

 are so exactly identical with the Acacia Creek specimens, 

 that we think we can safely regard it as a form of F. Neu- 

 mann i with fewer involucral bracts. 



CYPERACE^. 

 Cypebus ferax Rich. New for New South Wales. 



Sugar Loaf Mountain, near 13raidwood(J. L. lioorman; March, 

 1909); .Milton(R. H. Cambage; January, 1912). 



Previously recorded from Queensland only. Jt seems remark- 

 able to find a species hitherto known only from tropical Queens- 

 land, in such comparatively cold places as Braidwood and .\filtoii;
