frequent. Christeiisen, in Index Fil., merged the plant in T, 

 pyxidiferum, from which, however, it certainly differs. It i.s 

 more closely allied to T. hipiinctatum. In the National Her- 

 barium, Sydney, the late Mr. Betche, followin<; Christensen, 

 labelled it as a var. of T. pyxidiferum, but, in a note with which 

 I entirely agree, said, " It seems to me so widely different from 

 T. pyxidiferum that I would rather keep to Bailey's name." T. 

 Barnardia7ium has the indusium two-lipped, after the manner of 

 T bipnnctatum, thus differing entirely from 7\ pyxidiferii,m. 



T. BIPUNCTATUM Poir. {T.filicula Bory). 



Frenchman's Creek and Babinda Creek; July, 1913. 



This species has, according to Luerssen (Bot, Centralbl., ix., 

 No. 12), been much confused with T. pyxidiferum by Australian 

 botanists, as well as in the Flora Australiensis. He had not 

 seen the true T. pyxidiferum among numerous Australian speci- 

 mens in his possession. I did not find it; but it is recorded by 

 Domin from Bellenden Ker.

A small plant collected by R. F. Waller in the Evelyn Scrub,

 (Plate Ixxxvi., fig.3,a-d.) 

 Rhizoma filiforme, repens, breviter ramosum, fuscis pilis dense 

 vestitum. Stipes subsessilis ad 1 cm. longus, supra per pinnas 

 decurrentes anguste alatus. Frons l-2cm. longa, 0-5-l-5cm. lata, 

 irregulariter pinnatifida, lobis integris vel in 2-4 angusta integra,

 natis, alternantibus, segmentorum apicem versus angustantibus; 

 venulae spuria? numerosse, prominentes, breves, flexuosa?, plerum-
