EVODIA XAXTIIOXYLOIDES, F.V.M. 



This species previously recorded from Rockingham Ba}^, Queens- 

 land (Fragni. iv. 155), has been collected at Tintenbar, N.S.W., 

 by Mr. W. Bauerlen.

 Penxantia CuxxixftHAMii, Miers. 



This species has been collected in the Glenfernie Forest 

 Reserve by one of us. The flowers of Pennantia are ditiecious or 

 polygamous. In Forster's Characteres Generum Plantarum 

 (London, 1776), at Plate 134 is a figure of a male and of an 

 hermaphrodite flower of a New Zealand species. The flowers of 

 the same species, P. corymbosa, are similarh' figured in Kirk's 

 Forest Flora of New Zealand. 



Flowers of the New South Wales species {P. Cunninghamii) 

 do not appear to have been recorded. Our specimens show 

 hermaphrodite flowers (Plate xxvii). 



If we follow the nomenclature of :Bentham (B. Fl. i. 395) and 

 Kirk, we should designate these so-called hermaphrodite flowers 

 " female flowers " on the ground that the stamens are infertile, 

 but in our flowers of P. Cumilnghaymi the stamens are pollen- 

 bearing, and it would appear to be more correct to retain the 

 term hermaphrodite for them. The flower depicted in the 

 drawing shows a perfect pistil, and had Bentham such material 

 he would have been able to give a description of the female organs
