Australian form. The Asiatic specimens have pale purple jflowers , 

 according to C. B. Clarke; Bentham describes the flowers of the 

 Australian specimens as "purple or pale blue (or yellow accord- 

 ing to Dallachy)." Our Casino specimens, as well as Queensland 

 specimens from Cairns, have all j^ellow flowers.

 IsopOGON Dawsoni, R. T. Baker. 



Mt. Dangar, Gungal, near Merriwa (J. L. Boorman; September^ 

 1904). 



Mr. Baker's type-specimens were found in 1893 in the Murrumbo 

 Ranges, Goulburn River. Six years later Mr. Forsyth discovered 

 it on the Nepean River; and now we record a third locality for 

 this rare plant. 



According to Mr, Boorman's notes it is a tree with a single 

 stem, 3 to 6 inches in diameter, about 8 to 12 feet high (it attains 

 20 feet in height according to Mr. Baker); the leaf -segments in 

 our specimens are generally rather narrower and shorter than in 

 the figure of the plant. ''^ 



Grevillea Gaudichaudi, R.Br. 



Wentworth Falls (J. H. Camfield; October, 1896); Katoomba 

 (W. Forsyth; November, 1904). (Brown's type, in Gaudichaud^ 

 came from " Yallee de Jamieson.") 



" This plant was found near the town of Katoomba growing 

 in juxtaposition with plants of Grevillea laurifolia, Sieb. It has 

 entirely the same habit as the latter species. The flowers in the 

 field are also of the same colour, and the plant might easily be 

 passed by for Grevillea laurifolia. 



" The plant seems to be very local in its distribution, no speci- 

 mens being found outside a radius of about 50 yards, and not 

 more than half a dozen plants seen altogether" (W. Forsyth). 



R. Brown described the species first in Gaudich., Freyc. Voy. 

 Bot. 443. We have also R.Br.'s description in ' Proteacese Novse ^ 

 (1830), p. 2 2, and this description agrees word for word with our
