Inflorescence a loose corymbose terminal panicle, much exceed- 

 ing the leaves, or in the upper axils much shorter than the leaves. 

 Flowers when fully'^ expanded exceeding 3 lines in diameter. 

 Calyx turbinate or hemispherical, adnate to the ovary, lobes 5, 

 persistent, acute. Petals 5, valvate, persistent, fringed inside 

 below the middle with long hairs forming a corona. Capsule 

 glabrous, about 2 lines in diameter, hemispherical, mostly 3-valved; 

 seeds very small, reticulate. 



Comparing the above with the delineations in Forst. Char. Gen. 

 p. 30, and whicli I reproduce (PI. x. figs. 1-10 ; upper division 

 of the plate) it will be found there are many points of difference, 

 as for instance the nectary (which I cannot understand in 

 Forster's figure), the calyx lobes and capsule. 



I have endeavoured to obtain New Caledonian specimens for 

 comparison, but have not been successful. If this should be 

 distinct from the New Caledonian plant, I would suggest the 

 name of ui. JS'ullmneusis, from the locality where first obtained. 



Ckkatopetalum gummiferum, SmifJi. — Mr. W. Biiuerlen, report- 

 ing on this species, says — "At Moonambah, Tweed River, I have 

 seen trees lately fully 60 feet high and 18 inches in diameter, but 

 they were so situated that it would be exceedingly difficult to 

 obtain a log from the locality." These are dimensions that 

 surpass any previous records. 



Ceratopetalum apetalum, I). Don. — McPherson Ranges, six 

 miles from the Queensland boundary (W. Biiuerlen). This is a 

 considerable extension of range, as it was previously only known 

 for a few miles north of Port Jackson. 



COMPOSITiE. 



Cassinia arcuata, R.Br. — As far east as Upper P3'ramul (Mrs. 

 A Tindall). Previously recorded from the Darling Ri\ er. 



Cassinia subtropica, F.v.M. — Moonambah and Billundgel, 

 Tweed River (W. Biiuerlen). Lindsay is the only locality given 

 in B.Fl. (iii. p. 588>
