NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 593 



Eucalypts do not sucker at all. The term " sucker " as used in 

 Australia is a colloquialism applied to adventitious growths from 

 stems and branches of Eucalypts. 



Mr. Cambage exhibited herbarium and timber specimens in 

 illustration of his paper. He also showed fruiting branches of 

 the form of Pitto>^porum undulatum, Yent., which bears flowers 

 with long stamens, from AVaratah and Burwood. In the neigh- 

 bourhood of Sydney, however, it is quite a common occurrence to 

 find the species in a dio3cious condition, only the form with rudi- 

 mentary stamens setting any fruits. 



Mr. Maiden exhibited a type specimen of Eucalyptus hicolor, 

 A. Cunn., which was originally presented by Cunningham to Sir 

 W. J. Hooker and presented by Sir William Thiselton Dyer to 

 the exhibitor. He also showed a drawing of a properly authen- 

 ticated type specimen of E. polyanthemos, Schauer, from the her- 

 barium of the University of Cambridge. Also a specimen of 

 Distegia Ledehouri% Greene, from California, belonging to an 

 anomalous genus of the Compositse.
