91G NOTES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS, NO. IX., 



6. J. poIyantJiemus, Fr. Buch., Engl. Bot. Jahrb. xxi. 3, p. 261 

 (1895). 



A modei-cately tall green perennial chiefly characterised by its 

 small trigonous-globular fruits (smaller than in all the following 

 species of this group), scarcely exceeding the perianth, and by 

 the much-compound regular dichotomoush' branched dense but 

 not contracted inflorescence with numerous flowers. Flowers 

 scarcely 2 mm, long. Perianth segments of equal length. 

 Stamens 3. — All the Australian States. 



This species much resembles in its typical form the European 

 J. effius2is, Linn., but is distinguished from it chiefly by the fruit 

 and by the interrupted pith and the rather smaller flowers. In 

 Bentham's Fl. Austr., it seems to be included in J. communis, 

 E. Mey. 



7. J. raduJa, Fr. Buch. Mon. June. p. 241 (1890). 



A moderatel}^ tall pale perennial distinguished by the anthelate 

 inflorescence (an inflorescence where the lateral axis exceeds the 

 main axis) ending in sickle-shaped ultimate branchlets with round 

 flowers distant at equal intervals. Stamens 3 to 6. Fruit 

 trigonous-barrel-shaped, as long as the perianth. — New South 

 Wales, Victoria. West Australia. 



8. J. va^inatHs, R.Br. Prod. 258 (1810); B.Fl. vii. 129. 

 Chiefly distinguished from the allied species by the flowers 



being collected in small clusters in the irregular branched 

 inflorescence. Stamens 3 to 6. Fruit barrel-shaped, longer than 

 the perianth. — New South Wales, Queensland. 



9. J. pauciflorus, R.Br. Prod. 259 (1810); B.Fl. vii. 129. 



A rather small plant with an anthelate inflorescence like J . 

 radula, but the fruits are trigonous-ovate, about 3 mm. long, 

 conspicuously longer than the perianth. Stamens 3 to 6. Flowers 

 not always few as is implied in the name. — New South Wales, 

 Queensland, Victoria, S. Australia, Tasmania. 



10. J. pallidus, R.Br. Prod. 258 (1810); B.Fl. vii. 130. 



A tall pale plant with an anthelate inflorescence. Fruit 

 trigonous-ovate, and exceeding the perianth, but larger than in J.
