M Y R T A C E ^. 



Myrtus Bidwillii, Benth. 



This species previously recorded from Queensland has now been 

 collected at Lismore by Mr. W. Bauerlen. The leaves can 

 scarcely be said to be " very shining."

BvRONiA (Bryonopsis) laciniosa, Linn. (B.Fl. iii. 319). 



Mr. W. A. B. Greaves, attracted by the ornamental character 

 of this climlDer, particularly when in fruit, has raised some plants 

 from seed gathered by him a year or two ago on the Upper 

 Clarence River, from truly indigenou.s plants. We are able, 

 frcjm examination of the ripe fruit, to add a note in regard to 

 it. The berry is ellipsoid not globular, of length | inch, width 

 i inch, in average specimens. Colour terra-cotta, with about eight 

 longitudinal white stripes ; each contains about ten or twelve 

 seeds, enclosed in a fluorescent bluish-green pulp.

AsTROTRicHA FLOCcosA, DC, var. subpeltata. 



This variety which has only been collected previously on the 

 coast, has now been found to occur at Portland, near Mudgee (J. 

 Geddes). 



R U B I A C E iE. 



Canthium oleifolium. Hook., var. pedunculatum. 



This vai'iety differs from the normal species in ha\-ing 

 peduncles sometimes over an inch long, instead of "flowers in 

 short almost sessile axillary cymes." This variety is from Con- 

 doliolin, which brings the range of this species from the Castlereagh 

 River as far south now as the Lachlan.
