BoRONiA LEDiFOLiA, J. Gay. 



Cowan Creek, Berowra (E. Cheel and J. L. Booinian; August, 

 1902). 



A pinnate-leaved form with occasionally umbellate flowers. 

 Though most flowers are solitary, some have two additional 

 flowers in the axils of the small bracts on the peduncle, a varia- 

 tion not previously observed in this very variable species. Other- 

 wise it is distinguished from the type b}^ the very prominently 

 ciliate fllaments. 



RHAMNACE^. 



Cryptandka amara, Sm., var. longiflora, F.v.M., ined. 



Two well-marked varieties can be easily distinguished in our 

 common C. amara, though, amongst a great number of specimens 

 from different localities', they will be found running into each 

 other. The small-flowered and more common form in the Port 

 Jackson district has a calyx of about 1 line in length, with lobes 

 rather shorter than the tube. The large-flowered variety has a 

 calyx-tube nearly or fully twice as long, but with the same short 

 calyx-lobes, so that the tube is proportionally much longer. 

 Bentham took notice of these two forms in his ' Flora xVustra- 

 liensis,' but did not distinguish them by names. Baron von 

 Mueller named the large-flowered form in the Melbourne Her- 

 barium var. longijlora, and we propose his name for general 

 adoption. 



LEGUMINOS^. 



Swainsona Greyana, Lindl., var. bracteata, n.var. 



Between Gilgandra and Guramin ( W. Forsyth; October, 1901). 



This peculiar form of the Darling Pea is readily distinguished 

 by the large, ovate, persistent bracts which completely conceal 

 the young buds and nearly conceal the calyx in the opened flowers. 

 The characteristic white tomentum of the calyx is much less 

 dense than in the type, and the calyx-teeth are longer and more 

 acuminate. Flowers and foliage pi-ecisely the same. Ripe fruits 

 and seeds not seen.
