 western State, is a daughter of the late Honorable Dr. James 

 Norton, M.L.C., who was for many years connected with this 

 Society as Honorary Treasurer and President. Like her late 

 father, Mrs. Stephens is a great lover of the indigenous flora, 

 and her paintings of native and exotic plants, and other subjects, 

 have often been exhibited in Sydney, and have been most favour- 

 ably commented upon by connoisseurs and in the public press.

 leucocephcdus Benth. ; Calythrix gracilis Benth. ; Cyanostegia
