112 ON THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF SOME N.S.W. PLANTS. 



2nlosa is also found, which, however, with B. rhomboidea reaches 

 a little farther north to the Ghunyenara Mountain, into the 

 sandstone formation, where both grow more luxuriantly. 



Haloragis inonos2^erma and Grevillea Macraeana occur in the 

 plain to the foot of the western {i.e., Braid wood) side of the Clyde 

 Mountains. Both are found not a mile apart, and yet they are 

 not consociate. Conglomerate, granite and quartz occur where the 

 Grevillea is found ; granite and sand where the Haloragis grows. 

 Both species appear to be much restricted. 



It is worthy of remark that in the restricted localities where these 

 new species grow, they are rather plentiful, except perhaps the 

 Hakea and Correa. There seems little doubt that additional species 

 remain to be discovered in this locality ; indeed Baron von Mueller 

 has in his hands plants belonging to the Rutacese, Leguminosae, 

 Proteacese, &c., of which he is only waiting for more material in 

 order to determine them. 



If a straight line be drawn from Ulladulla, running from east to 

 west, that line would pretty well form the southern limit of Telopea 

 speciosissi7na, and also the northern limit of T. oreades, which 

 latter occurs there as a shrub four to six feet high, with a number 

 of branches springing up from the roots, while on the southern 

 boundary of New South Wales, and in the moist and sheltered 

 valleys of the Gippsland mountains, T. oreades occurs from 30 to 

 40 feet high, and fully 18 inches in diameter. This species is 

 either never found away from the banks of running streams, or, as 

 in Gippsland, on mountain sides almost boggy with moisture, 

 while T sj^eciosissima loves dry sandy soil.
