Prod. Norf. 70). — On the bark of trees. A small plant originally- 

 recorded from Anson Bay.

AMARYLLIDEiE. 



120. Crinum norfolkianum, A. Cunn. 



" A. Cunn. MSS. {sp.nov.) foliis margine hevibus, pedicellis ovario parum 

 longioribus, staminibus laciniis lanceolatis dimidio brevioribus, filamentis 

 anthera 5- 6-ies longioribus. In wet ground, Mill or Arthur's Vale. This 

 species is near C. podunculatum, R.Br., but certainly distinct " (A. Cunn. in 

 Reward). 



It is in this locality to this day. 



LILIACE^. 



Smilax piu'pitrata, G. Forst., Prod. 373. — " Sarsaparilla." I 

 believe I have this on good authority, but I cannot quote it. 

 Smilax gJycyphylla, Sm. — In Tate's List. I doubt it. 



121. Rhipogonum dubium, Endl., Prod. Norf. 69. 



122. Geitonoplesium cymosum, A. Cunn., Endl., Prod. Norf.

There has been considerable confusion with the synonj^my of 

 the Cordylines, as will appear from the following : — 



123. CoRDYLiNE OBTECTA, J. G. Baker, Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 

 xiv., 543. {Syn. Cor dy line Baueri, Hook, f., Gard. Chron. 1860, 

 792; Mueller, Second Census, 197). 



Cordyline australis, Endl., Prod. Norf. 29 (Bauer, 111. 176-7, 

 207 and Kegel, Gartenfl. t. 450, according to J. G. Baker). 



The name Cordyline nutans, A. Cunn., under which it commonly 

 occurs in Australian gardens, should apparently be Cordyline 

 nutans, Hort. 



Draccena, ohtecta, Graham, Edin. Phil. Journ. 1827, 175; 

 Draccena australis, Hook., Bot. Mag. t. 2835, non Forster; Dracaena 

 nutans, A. Cunn. MSS. 



Not only has there been much confusion in regard to the 

 synonymy of this species, but also in regard to its native countr}'.
