HtidJeyl in the leiii^^li of the leaves, wliich are only 5-lOcni. long, 

 obscurely sinuate-dentate in P. nucklandica instead of entiie, and 

 usually much longer as in the new species. 



The leaves of P. auckhtndica are also ovate and obovate. 



The ovarium in P. Hedleyi is much shorter than the cah\x, and 

 5-7 seeded, instead of (?) twice the length of the calyx and 

 2-seeded in P. aucklandica. The placenta is also different in 

 shape in I*, aucklandica. 



The circunisciss line is always visible round the ovarium in the 

 new species. 



CRUCIFER.E. 

 Capsella Bursa-Pastoris McEnch. 



Mr. Hedley writes: — "In view of your note on Capsella Pursa- 

 Pasforis (Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S.Wales, xxiii., 1898, p. 121, foot- 

 note), I looked out for it. What seemed to be this, is marked as 

 from Waterhouse's cultivation paddock."' Mr. Hedleys surmise 

 is correct. 



Lepidium foliosum Desv. (also on Ball's Pyramid) of my former 

 paper (op. cit., xxiii., p. 123), is in A. Thellung's " Die Gattung 

 Lepidium {L.) R.Br.'' (Zurich, 1906), called L Hoivei-insidit 

 Thell., n.sp. 



VIOLACE^. 

 Hymexanthera nov.e-zelandi^ Hemsl., Kew Bulletin, 1908,p. 90. 



The species hitherto recorded for Lord Howe Island as H. 

 latifolia Endl. (See Hemsley, Ann. Bot., x., 231). 



Hemsley states that it differs from the New Zealand specimens 

 in having apparently thinner leaves, as seen in the dried condition 

 at least. The flowers are exactly the same. 



KL.EOCARPACE^ (formerly in Tiiiacete). 

 El^ocarpus sp. (These Proceedings, xxvii., 1902, 347). 



"Mueller (Fragm., ix., 77) includes the genus Eht'ocarpus (T\\\- 

 acese) : ' El?eocarpus foliatione, qua? tantum nota, E. foveolato 

 similis,' but there is no specimen in any of the collections re- 

 ceived at Kew.' Hemsley, Ann. Bot., x., 232. 



I had overlooked the above reference. We still have not 

 sutftcient material to determine this plant specifically.
