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



A form with greeinsh-3^ello\v flowers; Galston, near Sydney (J. 

 H. Maiden; June, '05). 



LOGANIACE-E. 



Strychnos psilosperma F.v.M. — New for N. S. Wales. 



Acacia Creek, near the Queensland border (J. L. Boorman; 

 Feb. '05). 



Previously recorded from Queensland only. Bentham describes 

 it as a shrub with weak branches. Bailey writes in his 'Queens- 

 land Flora' — "In the Brisbane district an erect tree 60 or more 

 feet high, armed with slender spines 1 inch long." Mr. Boorman 

 describes it in his field-notes as a " handsome compact tree 40-50 

 ft. high, very suitable as an ornamental shade tree," but there 

 are no spines on his specimens, and he is positive that all the 

 trees he has seen are without spines. Possibly this is one of the 

 trees which are armed with spines in the juvenile state, and 

 become spineless when they are grown up and have raised their 

 foliage above the reach of browsing animals. 



The structure of the timber appears to be unique amongst 

 New South Wales timbers. 



SOLANACE^. 



Anthocercis albicans a. Cunn. 



Boonoo Boonoo, near Tenterfield (J, L. Boorman; Kov. '04). 



An erect much-branched shrub 2 to 3 feet high, with long 

 drooping branches, covered all over with branched hairs, densely 

 so on the under side of the leaves, more sparingly on the branches 

 and upper side of the leaves. Leaves from broad- to narrow- 

 ovate, and from J to less than J inch long, with recurved margins, 

 nearly sessile and much spreading or even refracted. Flowers 

 pale yellow, solitar}'- on slender pedicels about ^ inch long. 

 Calyx about 1 line long, the lobes about as long as the tube. 

 Corolla-tube longer than the calyx, the lobes obtuse and about as 

 long as the tube. 



From the above description it will be seen that the Boonoo 

 Boonoo specimens differ essentially from Bentham's description 

 in the 'Flora Australiensis.' According to Bentham, the flowers
