90G NOTES FROM THK BOTANIC GARDENS, NO. IX., 



Gastrolobium Boormani, Maiden &, Betche. 

 ]\Iilton (H. H. Cambage; December, 1902). 

 Previously recorded in these Proceedings from Tuggerah. 

 The new locality brings its range more than 100 miles further 



south. 



Acacia pumila. Maiden S: Baker. 



Morriset (J. L. Boorman; October, 1899), Richmond (J. L. 

 Boorman; May, 1903). 



Since the publication of this species in 1895 (these Proceed- 

 ings, XX., 385), many additional localities have been discovered, 

 partly in the coast district from Port Hacking to Gosford. partly 

 in the Blue Mountains as high up as Mt. Tomah; and the addi- 

 tional material necessitates some modification of the description. 

 The phyllodia are described as 6 lines long and 1 line broad; it 

 should read instead, phyllodia from h to nearly H inches long, 

 1 line broad in the short-leaved forms, considerably narrower 

 in the long-leaved specimens. 



The two above-named localities are habitats of the long-leaved 

 form. 



Acacia trineura, F.v.M. 



Temora (R. H. Cambage; October, 1900), Wyalong (J. L. 

 Boorman; October, 1903). New for New South Wales. 



UMBELLIFER^. 

 Hydrocotvle umbellata, Linn., var. bonariensis, Spreng. 



Manly (first bay north of ^Manly, growing on the beach with 

 Car ex pumila and S-pinifex hirsutus; A. A. Hamilton; Novem- 

 ber, 1902). 



This interesiting Hydrocoff/le is common in North America, and 

 seems to be of recent accidental introduction, though it is very 

 difficult to account for it. It has peltate leaves, like the large- 

 leaved forms of H. vulgar^; but the umbels are on long stalks, 

 and it is distinguished from all other species of this large genus 

 by the irregular compound umbels.
