Found by Cunningham on Phillip Island as well as on Norfolk 

 Island.

 Linn., Lam. 111. t. 336. — In the woods between Long Ridge Farm 

 and the south-west coast" (A. Cunn. in Heward, p. 123). 



33. Streblorrhiz A SPECiosA, Endl., Prod. Norf. 151. Heward 

 (from A. Cunningham's notes) states : — " (Streblorrhiza speciosa, 

 Endl, Prod. p. 97, is CUanthus Baueri, A. Cunn. MSS. C. 

 carupAis, Lind., in Bot. Reg. Sept. 1841, t. 51)." Also the Glitoria 

 sp. of A. Cunn., London Journ. Bot. i. 115, 1842. 



Bentham (B. Fl. ii.) alludes to Streblorrhiza as " the very dis- 

 tinct genus." It was found on Phillip Island, but the species is 

 now extinct. I believe there is only one original drawing in 

 existence. It is by Bauer and is at the British Museum or 

 Vienna. There is a coloured drawing in Edwards' Botanical 

 Register (Lindley) 1841, under the name of Clianthus carneus, 

 Lindl. From one of the " Miscellaneous Notices " in the same 

 volume. No. 9 (not 7), Lindley's figure was prepared from a 

 specimen cultivated by Mr. Pince of Exeter. It would be 

 interesting to learn if the plant is wholly extinct, even from 



cultivation. 



MYRTACE^. 



34. Rhodomyrtus psidioides, Benth. — New for the Island. 

 If not planted it is apparently the only indigenous myrtaceous 

 plant on the Island. 



Metrosideros polymorpha, Gaud., is in Tate's List, but I could 

 only find a planted tree (in the Melanesian Mission Garden). 

 It is what may be called a " probable species." Hooker (Handbk. 

 Fl. N.Z. p. 73) has the note "abundant throughout all the 

 Pacific Islands and New Caledonia." It occurs on Lord Howe 

 Island.
