DICOTYLEDONS. 



MAGNOLIACE^. 



Drijiys HowEANA, F.v.M. — Known as " Hot-bai-k " by the 

 settlers. A slender small tree. 



CRUCIFER5}. 



Cakile maritima, Scojj. — Apparently rare. Not in Hemsley's 

 list. 



Lepidium foliosum, Desv. — Hemsley inserts this plant on 

 Mueller's authority, not having seen indubitable specimens him- 

 self. I have brought specimens which undoubtedly belong to 

 this species, having six stamens and conforming to the description 

 of L. foliosum in other respects. 



GUTTIFER^. 



Calophyllum ixophyllum, Li/ni. — Hemsley follows Moore, 

 Proc. So//. Soc. N.S.W., V. 31 (though doubtfully), in giving this 

 plant a place in the flora of the island. Moore and Betche exclude 

 it fi'om their list of Lord Howe Island plants in their " Handbook 

 of the Floi-a of New South Wales." Under Elceodendron I have 

 shown how, in my opinion, Ckdophylhnn came to be recorded as 

 an addition to the flora. I recommend that it be now dropped.

Hibiscus tiliaceus, Linn. — "Kurrajong." Found on Middle 

 Beach road, also in a swamp on Edward King's property. The 

 specimen on the side of a creek near the old settlement was 

 planted. The bark is soaked in sea-water for 24 hours, when the 

 fibre " makes better fishing lines than we can buy in Sydney."
