We have to thank Dr. H. Harms, of Berlin, for the determina- 

 tion of this plant. 



GOODENIACEiE. 

 VeLLEYA MONTANA, Hook. f. 



Medlow, Blue Mountains (A. A. Hamilton; January, 1903). 



A new locality for a plant rare in Kew South Wales. It is 

 another instance of the occurrence of Tasnmnian plants in bleak 

 exposed situations of the Blue Mountains. 



GOODENIA DIMORPHA, n.sp. 



Springwood, Blue Mts. (E. Betche; February, 1884), Wood- 

 ford, Blue Mts. (J. H. Maiden; January, 1899), Black heath, Blue 

 Mts. (A. A. Hamilton; January and April, 1900). 



GooDENiA DIMORPHA, Maiden & Betche, var. angustifolia. 



National Park, near Sydney (J. H. Camfield, February, 1896; 

 J. L. Boorman, January, 1903). 



We have been puzzled for many years past by aGoodenia with 

 a paniculate inflorescence, common in sandy turfy places from 

 Port Hacking to the Blue Mountains, The species is so common 

 that it can scarcely have been overlooked by old collectors, and 

 still less by collectors of the present day; but its forms have pro- 

 bably been mixed up in various herbaria vvith several other 

 species. The general appearance of the broad-leaved mountain 

 form is that of G. heUidiJolia with an unusually paniculate 

 inflorescence; but G. bellidijolia has a short ovarium and fruit 

 and our new species has a long and narrow fruit. The narrow- 

 leaved form may have been confounded partly with G. steUiyera, 

 or, in absence of fruit, with G. panicnlata or G. (jracilis, but 

 differs from all in ovarium, fruit and inflorescence. 



During recent years we made it our business to obtain fruiting 

 specimens from all forms, with the result that ^ve came to the 

 conclusion that it belongs to Bentham's Section "Eugoodenia" 

 series "Racemosse," but that it cannot be united with either G. 

 bellidifolia or G. steUigera. It is most nearly allied to G. stelli-
