472 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



but the different habit, distribution, and character of the foliage 

 and flowers enables one to separate them easily from that species. 

 Examples of a species, probably undescribed, collected at Bishops- 

 court, near Rand wick, in August, 1898, and other localities as 

 far as Hill Top, where it is very common, having distinctly 

 spinescent branches, were also exhibited, together with typical 

 specimens of D. eyicifoJia Sm., D. fJoribunda Sm,, D. brunioides 

 Meissn., D. juniperiiia Sieb., and D. cinerascens R. 13r., for com- 

 parison with the above.— Mr. Cheel also showed fresh, flowering 

 specimens of Callistemon viminalis (Sol.) Cheel,* from a private 

 garden at Flemington, where there are nine fine shrubs about 

 15-18 feet high, all in full flower at the present time. — A flower- 

 ing spike, about 5 J inches long, from a hybrid of C. lanceolatus 

 X C. acuminatus, together with a spike from typical C. lanceo- 

 latus DC, for comparison. The characters of the leaves and 

 habit are intermediate between the two. 



Dr. C. Hall showed a remarkable series of hybi-id Freesias. 



Mr. E. C. Andrews sent, for exhibition, specimens of ordinary 

 red fruits, and also yellow fruits of Fitsanus acuminatus R.Br., 

 the Quandong, with a basal elongation of the pericarp; from 

 Bogan River, near Tottenham.
