16 FOUR NEW SPECIES OF N.S.W. PLANTS, 



Mr. F. M. Bailey, who kindly forwarded fruiting specimens 

 from the " North-coast line, Queensland," quite identical with our 

 N.S. Wales specimens, expresses the opinion that it may be 

 identical with IS. hemilampra, F.v.M., but as the result of the 

 examination of the abundant flowering specimens at our disposal, 

 we do not acquiesce in that view. 



Baron von Mueller described ^. heynilampravuFragm. ix. 145, 

 from specimens without flowers or fruits, the description being so 

 imperfect that we need not refer to it any further. Mr. Bailey 

 adopted Baron von Mueller's name for a Johnstone River JEiujenia 

 fully described by him in his Botan}'- Bulletin, No. ix. (Sept., 

 1894), from which our New South Wales plant dififers in the 

 following essential points : — 



E. Iiemilampra, from Johnstone E. hracliyandra, n.sp., from 



Biver (as described by Bailey). N.S. Wales. 



Leaves broad-lanceolate, with Leaves lanceolate, the oil-dots 



distinctly visible oil-dots, the quite invisible in dried leaves, 



upper sui'face shining, dotted the upper surface not shining, 



with small pits, and with raised smooth, with impressed veins, 

 veins. 



Panicle loose and many- Panicle very short and com- 



flowered. pact. 



Petals falling oif in a calyptra. Petals very deciduous, not 



cohering. 



Stamens twice as long as the Stamens not exceeding the 

 petals, with flexuose filaments. petals in length, the filaments 



not flexuose. 



Eugenia hraclii/andra has been long under cultivation in the 

 Botanic Gardens, Sydney, and was erroneously described from 

 fruiting specimens by Mr. C. Moore as Memecylon anstrale 

 {Handbook of the Flora of Netv South Wales, ]j. 20S), he ha\'ing 

 been misled by the apparent absence of oil-glands in the leaves 

 and the Memecylon-like fruits.
