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



tree is not in fruit. The fruits of E. ^yapilionum are not yet 

 known. 



Mueller's opinion that £J. cyanocarjja and E. papiliomun may 

 be varieties of E. oleosa, F.v.M., seems to be unlikely; the narrow 

 turbinate calj'x of E. oleosa points to a fruit different in shape 

 from the globular fruits of E. cyanocarpa and E. Coohniniana. 

 To sum up, we think : All the blue-fruited Eugenias in New 

 South Wales known at present are E. cyanocarpa, F.v.M. E. 

 Coolminiana, C. Moore, is a variety of the same, with thicker, 

 broader and less acuminate leaves, and is probably identical with 

 Mueller's E. papilionum, in spite of the contradictory statement 

 " foliis imperforatis." 



Melaleuca linariifulia, Sm., var. alternifolia, var.nov. 



Coff's Harbour to Grafton (J. H. Maiden and J. L. Boorman; 

 November, 1903). 



Leaves alternate, much narrower and usually shorter than the 

 type. The whole plant is glabrous, and the flowers are loosely- 

 scattered in an interrupted spike. This form is rather common 

 in the northern coast districts, and seems to extend from Stroud 

 to the Kichmond River. It is so well distinguished from the 

 form with broader opposite leaves and dense spikes, which grows 

 so abundantly in the sandstone country in the Port Jackson dis- 

 trict, that it should be separated from it as a named variety. 



Darwinia taxifolia, a. Cunn. 



Howell, about 15 miles east of Inverell (J. L. Boorman; June, 

 1904). 



Common in the Port Jackson district and the Blue Mountains, 

 extending southward to Victoria, but not previously recorded 

 from north of the Hunter River. 



UMB£LLIFEEiE. 

 Hydrocotyle pterocarpa, F.V.M. New for New South Wales. 

 Tuggerah Lakes (J. L. Boorman; February, 1904). 

 Previously recorded from Tasmania, Victoria and S. Australia.
