NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 535 



Mr. Fred. Turner exhibited specimens of three plants not 

 hitherto recorded from New South Wales, including a grass pro- 

 posed to be called Eragrostis Kennedyce^ n.sp. from Broken Hill, 

 of which the following is a description : — 



" Eragrostis Kennedys (aboriginal name ' Dendernberry '). — 

 A slender tufted perennial of about one foot, glabrous, except a 

 few hairs at the base of the leaves. Ligula reduced to a ring of 

 cilia. Leaves from one and a half to three or more inches long, 

 very narrow, tapering to fine points, and continued to, but not 

 exceeding, the inflorescence. Panicle three to four inches long, 

 narrow, but loose, with short erect branches. Spikelets shortly 

 pedicellate, numerous, purplish, scarcely half a line long, with 

 two or three, rarely more, minute flowers. Outer empty glumes 

 unequal, thin, obtuse, prominently keeled, the lateral nerves 

 obscure or very faint. Flowering glumes imbricate, very obtuse, 

 keeled, lateral nerves very faint. Palea glabrous, not as long as 

 the flowering glume. Stamens usually three, with small anthers. 

 Grain very small, obovoid, and slightly rugose. 



'''Hob. — VVonnaminta Station, near Broken Hill, New South 

 Wales. Collected by Mrs. M. B. Kennedy." 



Mr. Turner also exhibited from the Australian Alps, near 

 Mount Kosciusko, an Epacrid (Richea Gunnii, Hook.) hitherto 

 known only from Tasmania and the Victorian Alps, and a grass 

 (Poa saxicola, R.Br.), previously recorded only from the summit 

 of Mt. Wellington, Tasmania. 



Mr. North sent for exhibition specimens of the parrakeets from 

 Norfolk Island and New Zealand referred to in his paper. 



Mr. Baker exhibited specimens of the Acacia described in the 

 paper by Mr. Maiden and himself. 



Mr. Fletcher exhibited sjiecimens of Grevillea imrviflora^ R.Br., 

 from Mimosa, between Wagga and Temora, from the Kanimbla 

 Valley, Blue Mts., and from near Jervis Bay; and for comparison 

 with them a variety from Waterfall, an addition to the flora of 

 the County of Cumberland not provided for in Dr. Woolls' List.
