Supposed Indigenous Plants (Removals from IIemsley's List). 



CcdophylJitm iiiophylluin, Linn.; Elceodendron cmstrale, Vent.; 

 ElcBodendron melanocarpum, F.v.M., (these two species were 

 recorded through confusion with E. curtipendulum, Endl.) ; 

 Gupania anacardioides, A. Rich. ; Cupania semirjlauca, F.v.M., 

 (these two species were recorded from imperfect material, and are 

 to be referred to C. Howeana, Maiden). 



Indigenous Species marked doubtful in Hemsley's List, but 



doubts now removed. 



Lepidium foliosicm, Desv., (confirmed) ; Pandaniis (species 

 imperfecte cognita) removed from list as having no distinct 

 existence; Chlorls pumilio, R.Br., (recommended to be removed). 



Hemsley records 206 plants and three introduced ones, total 

 209. I have added 16 species and one named variety to the 

 indigenous flora, and 17 species of introduced plants, while I have 

 removed five species of supposed indigenous plants from Hemsley's 

 list, as the records were based on erroneous information. So 

 that, according to my paper, the flora of Lord Howe Island stands 

 at present at 217 indigenous species, (being a net addition of 11), 

 and 20 introduced ones.
