364 NOTES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS, NO. XI., 



Petals white, scarcely exceeding the sepals. Stamens not 

 numerous, the filaments hardly twice as long as the petals. 

 Ovarium 3- or rarely 4-celled, with numerous ovules in each cell 

 on a peltate placenta. Fruits not seen. 



This new Kunzea occurs in a dry watercourse in the moun- 

 tainous country about Wallangarra, near the Queensland border, 

 in company with K. corifolia. Its most distinctive character is 

 the remarkably large bracts and bracteoles in which the single 

 flowers are wrapped up; in this respect it comes near some West 

 Australian species of Section Eukunzea, but the characters of 

 the ovarium are those of Section Salisia, and its nearest affinity 

 is K. capitata. In general appearance it is somewhat like a 

 glabrous form of K. capitata^ with white flowers and narrower 

 leaves, but the large bracteoles well distinguish it from any 



described species. 



Kunzea opposita F.v.M. 



Howell (J. H. Maiden and J. L. Boorman; Aug. '05). 



A new locality for a rare plant, described by Mueller from 

 specimens collected at Timbarra, New England, in granite 

 fissures. The new locality is some 100 miles south-west of the 

 original habitat, but still in granite country. It is a compact 

 shrub about 1 to 2 feet high, growing at Howell on moist flats 

 with a rocky foundation, in company with K. capitata Reichb. 



Eugenia cyanocarpa F.v.M. 



Under Barrenjoey Lighthouse, at the 100 feet level; also 1^-2 

 miles south of Barrenjoey, at edge of Pittwater (J. H. Maiden 

 and R. H. Cambage, July, '05). 



UMBELLIFER^. 

 Actinotus Gibbonsii F.v.M., var. Baeuerlenii, var.nov. 



Shuttleton, near Nymagee, on stony hills (W. Biiuerlen, Nov. 

 '03). 



Mr. Biiuerlen writes in his notes : — '' This differs from A. 

 Gibbonsii in the following characters — Always quite prostrate, 

 more weak and flaccid, and the leaves always of a darker colour,
