inflorescence of SporohoLus indicus H.Br.; Cheltenham (A. A. 

 Hamilton; May, 1910), and Wahroonga (E. Cheel; September, 

 1910Miear Sydney; previously recorded only from Queensland. 



Mr. Fred Turner exhibited and offered observations on Richea 

 dracophT/lla R.Br., a curious and very interesting Epacrid col- 

 lected on Mount Wellington, Tasmania. Near the summit it 

 grows about five feet high but lower down the slopes it attains 

 a height of twelve feet or more, and at Recherche Bay it is said 

 to develop into a fair-sized tree. The colour of the flowers in the 

 specimen shown was white, but there is a variety with pint 

 flowers though it is said to be uncommon. The allied Richea 

 gunnii Hook.f., the only species known to be indigenous to New 

 South Wales, is found on the southern mountains, near Mount 

 Kosciusko; and was first recorded for this State by Mr. Turner 

 in these Proceedings for 1893. This species is also found on the 

 Australian Alps in Victoria, and at high altitudes in Tasmania.
