Hastings River (H. Beckler, ex Herb. Mueller, no date; E. 

 Betche, February, 1882; G. R. Brown, December, 1893); Rich- 

 mond River (W. Bauerlen ; December, 1891, January, 1895); 

 Tweed River (W. Bauerlen; April, 1897); Brunswick River (J, H. 

 Maiden and J. L. Boorman; December, 1903); Port Hacking

 above, a provisional description of the plant, but does not include 

 the name in his ' Census of Australian Plants.' These specimens 

 are identical with specimens that had puzzled us for some j^ears, 

 and which were labelled provisionally in the Sydney Herbarium
