794 TWO NEW SPECIES OF PLANTS FROM N.8.W., 



is more bearded, the fruit flatter and longer, thus stretching 

 much beyond the calyx, besides being attenuated into an acute 

 apex and marked upwards along the middle of each side by a 

 prominent line. The true If. serratum differs from Miss Bate's 

 plant in often shorter leaves, rather longer pedicels, longer and 

 differently shaped segments of the calyx, more bearded corollas 

 with longer lobes, an often downy style and especially in 3-or 4- 

 celled and all round turgid fruits with a thicker endocarp. In 

 reality M. serratum is very closely allied to M. oppositifolium, but 

 not to the arborescent M. insulare, with which Bentham combined 

 it, and which as well as M. tenuifolium occurs also near Mount 

 Dromedary, but in subsaline litoral regions. 



The botanical collections of the lady who discovered this 

 Myoporum contain furthermore several plants especially worthy 

 of record as not having been found formerly so far south (Lat. 

 36° 20') ; these, with others obtained additionally from Mr. 

 Reader, — since notes on his plants were published in the last 

 year's volume of the Linnean Society of New South Wales, pp. 

 287-218 — are comprised in the following list : 



Clematis glycinoides, Candolle. 

 Hibbertia volubilis, Andrews.
