748 NOTES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS, NO. X. 



The white-flowering form of this handsome Solanum seems to 

 be by no means uncommon, but it has never been recorded, as far 

 as we know. The specimens of the two localities are very 

 sparingly prickly, in fact one has to look carefully to find an 

 occasional prickle; and the cah'X-teeth are hardly acuminate. 

 Bentham's character of this species, " calyx-teeth acuminate," is 

 deceptive; the calyx-teeth are generally drawn out into a point, 

 but sometimes so shortly that they are almost or quite obtuse 

 in the bud or young flower, though they change in fruit. 



Solanum nemophilum, F.v.M. 



Drake (J. L. Boorman; October, 1901); Grafton district, near 

 Railway Survey Camp between Grafton and Glenreagh (J. H. 

 Maiden and J. L. Boorman; November, 1903). New for New 

 South Wales. 



Previously recorded from Queensland only. Brisbane River 

 is the most southern locality recorded by F. M. Baile}' in his 

 ' Queensland Flora.' 



SCROPHULARIACE.S:. 



Veronica perfoliata, R.Br. 



The range of this species in New South Wales is recorded at 

 present as coast district to tablelands, from Victoria to Mudgee; 

 and we have no evidence in the Herbarium of a more northern 

 locality. F. M. Bailey gives in the ' Appendix to his Queensland 

 Flora' (1902) "Charlotte Plains" as a new localit}^ so that the 

 range of this species extends now from south to north right through 

 New South Wales, though common in the south and evidently 

 rare in the north. 



ACANTHACE^. 



Hygrophila angustifolia, R.Br. 



Casino, in swampy ground (E. Betche; April, 1896). New for 

 New South Wales. 



Previously recorded from Queensland, extending from Moreton 

 Bay to the farthest north, and beyond Australia to tropical Asia. 

 There seems to be a doubt about the colour of the flowers of the
