COMPOSITE. 



Olearia lepidophylla, Benth. 



Emmaville (J. L. Boorman; October, 1901). 



The most northern locality recorded. A common plant in the 

 southern colonies and southern districts of New South \yales; 

 the present note brings its range up to the Queensland border. 



Olearia adenophora, F.v.M. 



At the Gap, near Cobborah (W. Forsyth; October, 1901). 

 The most northern locality for a plant rare in New South 

 Wales, though more common in Victoria. 



Cassinia leptocephala, F.v.M. 



AVarrumbungie Ranges (W. Forsyth; October, 1901). 



The locality "Port Jackson" given in Bentham's 'Flora Aus- 

 traliensis ' seems to be a mistake. Mueller gives the very vague 

 locality "Nova Austro-Cambria " in his original description 

 (Fragm. iii , 138), though he gives "Port Jackson" on his 

 herbarium label. This herbarium label probably misled Bentham, 

 and the mistake was copied by Dr. Woolls in his ' Plants of the 

 NeighlDOurhood of Sydney,' and in Moore and Betche's 'Handbook 

 of the Flora of New South Wales.' We have never heard of this 

 species having been collected in the Port Jackson district, and as 

 this district is naturally the best explored one in the State, it is 

 scarcely probable that such a prominent plant should have escaped 

 notice; besides the whole appearance of the plant is that of an 

 inhabitant of dry mountain ranges. 



Other authenticated localities of the species in the Herbarium 

 are : — Moonan Brook, Upper Hunter; and Upper Hastings River 

 (ascent to tableland; J. H. Maiden). 



EPACRIDEiE. 



Leucopogon exolasius, F.v.M. 



Woronora River (E. Cheel; October, 1901). 

 The only locality recorded is " near Camden," where it was 

 collected by Dr. Leichhardt in 1843. It is perhaps too closely
