"Gingin Clover." The specimens exhibited are from Hill Top, 

 Southern Line, collected in October, 1914. It very closely 

 resembles T. (jlomeratum, and can easily be mistaken for that 

 species, but may be recognised by the drooping, pedicellate 

 florets.— (2) 7'. striatum L., "Knotted Clover"; the specimens 

 exhibited were raised from seed from naturalised plants at 

 Rutherglen, Victoria, forwarded to the National Herbarium for 

 determination by Mr. A. Hay, December, 1913. For other 

 Victorian localities, see Vict. Nat., xxiii., 184(1907). In South 

 Australia, it has also become naturalised on the Mount Lofty 

 Range. — (3) 7'. maritimum Huds., "Teasel-head Trefoil"; speci- 

 mens of this species were collected in the Centennial Park, in 

 November, 1899, but it does not seem to have spread to any 

 great extent —Mr. Cheel exhibited also, on behalf of Mr. D. G. 

 Stead, a drawing of Eucalyptus sp., on Bealby's Kange, near 

 Dandenong, Port Phillip, made by the late W. Swainson, F.R.S., 

 on May 8th, 1853. 



Mr. A. A. Hamilton showed a series of specimens from the 

 National Herbarium, illustrative of teratology or leaf- variation: — 

 Gaillardia Hort., var. (Gladesville, October, 1914 ; Miss ^I. 

 Flockton), showing fasciation and floral displacement. In the 

 first stage, two flower-stems cohere for part of their length, finally 

 separating, each terminating in the usual capitula. In one of 

 the flower-heads, several ray-florets have been displaced by the 

 intrusion of involucral bracts. The second stage shows the two 

 stems coherent for their full length, the laterally elongated 

 capitula exhibiting a double facies, representing two flower- 

 heads. In the third stage, several flower-stems are fused, the 

 admixture of involucral bracts, ray, and tubular florets disclosing 

 the presence of several flower-heads. — Antirrhinum majiis Hort., 

 (Croydon; October, 1914; Miss A. M. Jenner) showing fasciation 

 and spiral torsion. Two stems are fused for the greater part of 

 their length, each bearing an arrested raceme of flowers. The 

 stems of the young .shoots have, in some instances, become so 

 contorted as to encircle the bases of the normal stem-leaves. 

 Plants exhibiting this malformation have been noted by Miss
