252 NOTES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS, SYDNEY, xviii. 



We have to thank the Ven. Archdeacon F. E. Haviland for the 

 above specimen. 



SOLANACEJE. 



Solanum hystrix R.Br. New for New South Wales. 



Brindingabba to Arara, and Arara to Lake Eliza in the Cutta- 

 burra Creek(Paroo River) district (J. L. Boorman; October, 1912). 



Previously recorded from South and Western Australia. 



Our specimens differ from the type in the leaves being sprinkled 

 with stellate hairs underneath, while the type is quite glabrous, but 

 they show distinctly the small spines on the corolla, a character 

 unique in this species; and they agree, in habit, exactly with our 

 South Australian specimens from Mt. Hergott. 



The prickles are bright copper-coloured, the fruits yellow when 

 ripe, about ^ inch in diameter. 



[I regret to say that, a month after this paper was read, my 

 colleague/Mr. Betehe, died, on 28th June, 1913.— J.H.M.]
