736 NOTES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS, NO. X., 



These inland specimens are very different-looking from the speci- 

 mens of the Northern Coast district from the Hastings River to 

 Byron Bay, but cannot be separated even as a variet3\ In the 

 coast specimens from the Hastings River to Byron Bay the flowers 

 are mostly crowded in the axils of the upper leaves, so as to appear 

 almost terminal, and the leaves are strictly 3-foliolate; while the 

 Stanthorpe specimens are more sparsely flowered, the flowers 

 extending down sometimes nearly to the base of the branches, 

 and the leaflets are frequently again trifoliolate, all 3 or the 

 upper ones only. It is an erect shrub, about 2 feet high. 



Philotheca australis, Rudge, var. Reichenbachiana, F.v.M 

 (P. Reichenhachimia, Sieb.). 



Gungal, near Merriwa (J. L. Boorman; September, 1904). 



A bushy shrub of compact habit, attaining 6 feet in this locality. 



Geijera parviflora, Lindl.

Mt. Warning, near Murwillumbah (W. Forsyth; November, 

 1898, and October, 1900); Murwillumbah (R. A. Campbell; 

 January, 1904). 



The leaves in these specimens are linear-lanceolate or broader 

 and deeply 3-lobed, very obscurely serrate or occasionally quite 

 entire, densely and closely white tomentose underneath. They 

 come evidently near R. salvi/olia, Benth., a species recorded from 

 Southern Queensland, but not from this State, and connect the 

 two species with each other.
