14 NOTES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS, SYDNEY, 



Specimens from Tantawanglo Mt., collected by J. H. Maiden 

 in December, 1896, appear to belong to this species, but they are 

 past flower, and cannot be identified with certainty. 



In Tasmania the species attains a height of 6 feet; on Mt. 



Kosciusko it forms a scrubby growth of 1-2 feet. In the Tas- 



manian plant the inflorescence is also more compact than in the 



New South Wales one. 



THYMELE5;. 



PiMELEA AXiFLORA, F.V.M., var. ALPiNA, F.v.M. — Mt. Kosciusko, 

 5,000ft. (J. H. Maiden, January, 1898). 



This variety, although hitherto recorded from Victorian alpine 

 localities, does not appear to have been met with in New South 

 Wales. 



EUPHORBIACE.S;. 



Phyllanthus Mitchelli, Benth. — Newcastle, N.S.W. (J. H. 

 Maiden, August, 1897). 



Previously recorded only from Queensland. It much resembles 

 P. thymoides, Sieb., from which it is chiefly distinguished by the 

 united filaments. The female plants and fruits have not yet 

 been described, as the specimens hitherto collected are all male.
