910 NOTES FROM THK BOTANIC GARDENS, NO. IX., 



KocHiA viLLosA, Lindl. 

 Denmaii (J. H. Maiden and J. L. Boorman; May, 1902). 



KOCIIIA MICROPHYLLA, F.V.M. 



Murriuundi (J. H. Maiden and J. L. Boorman; Ma}^, 1902). 



Kocliia microphylJawa.^ originally described by Moquin-Tandon 

 as EnchyJcena microphyUo, and retained under that genus till 

 Mueller removed it to Kochia. TheMurrurundi specimens show 

 beautifully the peculiarities of the species. 



Most of the small fruits are quite wingless, which caused 

 Moquin to describe it as Enchylcena; while now and then, on the 

 same plant, a few fruits have the characteristic horizontal wing 

 of the genus Kochia plainly developed. 



AMARANTACEJE. 

 Ptilotus exaltatus, Nees. 

 Denman (J. H. Maiden and J. L. Boorman; May, 1902). 



NYCTAGINE^. 

 BoERHAAViA DIFFUSA, Linn. 



Denman (J. H. Maiden and J. L. Boorman; May, 1902). 



These five last enumerated plants (Chenopodiacese, Amaran- 

 tacese, and Kyctaginepe) are common on the western plains, but 

 entirely wanting in the coast district. 



We have already, in a former paper in these Proceedings, 

 drawn attention to the great number of western plants which 

 make their way down the Hunter River valley, probably in 

 times of floods, as far east as Denman and Scone; and the above 

 are additions to the number already recorded. 



PROTEACEJE. 

 Banksia paludosa, R.Br. 

 Near Eden (J. H. Maiden; October, 1901).
