This is a synonym of H. dentata, R.Br., but I think that a 

 second species of Hym^.nanthera has not been proved to occur on 

 the Island. 



7. Melicytus ramiflorus, R. k G. Forster. — Recorded for 

 the Island by Sir Joseph Hooker in Handbook of N.Z. Flora, 

 p. 17, and later by Mueller (Journ. Bot. xxiii. 354). It is a tree 

 of the habit of the better known Olea aj^etala (Ironwood). 



8. Viola betonic^folia, Sm. — Recorded in B.Fl. i. 99, as 

 having been collected by Backhouse. 



PITTOSPORE-E. 



9. PiTTOSPORUM bracteolatum, Endl., Prod. Norf. p. 78. — 

 This bears the absurd name of " Oleander " on the Island. 



FRANKENIACE5:. 



10. Frankenia pauciflora, DC. — New for the Island. 



PLUMBAGINE^. 



11. Plumbago zeylanica, Linn., Endl., Prod. Norf. 87. — 

 Found by A. Cunningham on Phillip Island also. This species 

 extends from the East Indies through the Malay Archipelago to 

 Australia and the Pacific Islands (including the Sandwich Islands). 

 At the same time, bearing in mind that for so many years this 

 has been extensively distributed as an ornamental plant by the 

 Sydney Botanic Gardens, a word of caution is necessary in 

 accepting it as indigenous in some of the Pacific Islands. 



GUTTIFERE5:. 



CalophylluTfKi inophyllum, Linn. — I was told that this tree is 

 found on the Island, but I could not find it and would suggest 

 that the foliage of Ochrosia has been taken for it. 



MALVACE.5:. 



12. Malvastrum tricuspidatum, a. Gray. — New for the 

 Island.
