out that it had been first found in Java, and published, by 

 Lacoste, in 1872, as Cladonmioii. pallefis. In 1881, what proved 

 later to be the same plant was published, by Dr. Carl Mueller, 

 as a new genus, HampeeUa {II. Kurzii). The species, therefore, 

 after a chequered career, has settled down under the name 

 HampeeUa pallens (Lac.) Fleisch. 



Three years ago, I collected it at TuUy Falls, N. Queensland, 

 and at different times I have come across it at Wyong, and even 

 at Mt. Wilson, in New South Wales. Mr. Boorman has 

 recently brought it from the Dorrigo, and records having seen 

 it on Mt. Lindsay.
