390 NOTES ON THE FLORA OF THE ULUK MOUNTAINS, 



R. Brown, adding, "Not seen in any other collection. The 

 plant sent by A. Cunningham to De Candollc and described by 

 him as L. appressiis, does not differ from L. esqiimnatus R.Br." 

 This specimen is referred to in DC, Prod., vii., 754, as L. appressns 

 Br., Blue Mts., " Kingsfalls," Coll. Cunn. L. esquamatus R.Br., 

 is thus recorded from the Blue Mountains for the first time in 

 the Fl. Austr., iv., 223, a record which has been overlooked by 

 the authors of the Handbook of the Flora of N. S, Wales. The 

 rare L. appressus R.Br., (These Proceedings, 1913, p. 110) is now 

 recorded as a member of the Blue Mountain flora]; Epacris pul- 

 chella Cav., [it is singular that such a conspicuous species, which 

 crosses the Blue Mountains tableland at all elevations, should 

 have so long escaped recognition as a member of its flora by 

 botanical writers], Loyania pusilla R.Br., Veronica notahilis 

 F.V.M., Micrantheum e7'icoidesDeBi., Lepironia imicronata Rich., 

 Schcenus ericetorurti R.Br. 



Species previously recorded on the Blue Mountains from Mt. 

 Wilson only are — Cryptandra erici/olia Sm., Mirhelia reticulata 

 Sm., (another species found throughout the mountains in swamps 

 and on sandstone-ridges, which has apparently been overlooked), 

 Gompholohium ylabratiim DC , Cassvnia denticulata R.Br., Mono- 

 taxis linifolia Brongn., ("Flora of Mt. Wilson," by A. G. Ham- 

 ilton, These Proceedings, 1899, p. 346). 



Callistemon Sieheri DC, is recorded in the " Handbook of the 

 Flora of N. S. Wales," by Moore and Betche, from the dividing 

 range, but not specifically from the Blue Mts. It is plentiful in 

 the swamp below the Newnes Junction railway station, also in 

 a swamp about one and a half miles from Eskbank on the road 

 to "Brown's Gap." It is confined to the higher elevations, and 

 has not been collected east of Newnes Junction. 



Kunzea corifoLia Reichb., is noted for the first time as a Blue 

 Mountain species by Miss Florence Sulman (Wild Flowers of 

 New South Wales, p. 155). Messrs Maiden and Cambage, in 

 the "Flora of the Tablelands, ' (Handbook of New South Wales, 

 Brit. Assocn. for the Advancement of Science, 1914, p. 411) 

 mention Backhousia myrtifoUa Hook, k Harv., from the lower 

 slopes; it had been recorded previously (on the Blue Mts.) only
