790 NOTES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS, SYDNEY, NO. XVI., 



LEGUMINOSJ;. 

 Phaseolus TRUXiLLENSis H. B., & K. New for N'ew South Wales. 



G]ouce.ster(W. Heron; Februaiy, 1910); Copmanliurst(Rev. H. 

 M. R. Rupp; February, 1910). 



Previously recorded, in Australia, only from Queensland and 

 N'orth Australia. It is undoubtedly wild in New South Wales, 

 and not raerely a garden-escape. The Rev. H. M. R. Rupp 

 writes : — " It is quite common in this district, and is known here 

 as 'Shell Pea,' yet one does not very often notice it, for it seems 

 to l)e a shy bloomer. It is a beautiful thing when well out. It 

 .always occurs in open or lightly timbered country." Mr. Heron 

 also replied tliat he found it about 13 miles north-east of GIou- 

 >cester, far removed from all habitations. 



PuLTRNjE.'V SETULOSA Benth. New for New South Wales. 



Mt. Lindsay, Nandewar Range(R. H. Cambage; November, 

 1909). 



Previously recorded only from Queensland. Broad Sound is 

 the only locality given in Bentham's " Flora Australiensis " and 

 in Bailey's •' Queensland Florn." The New S<>utli Wales speci- 

 mens are erect shrubs, about 4 feet high, growing at an altitude 

 ■of from 4,500 to 4,700 feet, and seem to differ from the type only 

 in the less conspicuous setee on the stipules, the character from 

 xwhich the specific name selulosa is derived. 



PuLTEN^A FOLIOLOSA A. Cunn New for Queensland. 

 Texas, Queensland(J. L. Boorman; September, 1910). The 

 most northern locality of a plant common on the New England 

 Tableland in New South Wales, but not previously recorded 

 from Queensland. 



E.UTAX1A EMPETRIFOLIA Schlecht. New for Queensland. 



Inglewood, Queensland(J. L. Boorman; September, 1910). 



The species is common in Southern New South Wales and 

 Victoria, but has not previously been recorded from Queensland, 

 and not even from Northern New South Wales, as far as we 

 .know.
