254 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



laniflora is described in Turner's "Grasses of New South Wales," 

 (p. 19) published under the authority of the Government of New 

 South Wales, in 1890. 



Mr. E. Cheel exhibited a large piece of timber taken from a 

 "Stringy Bark" (Eucalyptus sp.) at Hill Top, measuring 18 inches 

 in diameter, showing the heartwood infested with thin sheets 

 of the white leathery mycelium, together with the sporophore in 

 situ, of Polyporus eucalyptorum Fr., thus confirming a suggestion 

 made in these Proceedings (1910, xxxv., 308), that the white 

 masses of mycelium included under the name of Xylostroma 

 giganteum Fr., were the sterile mycelia of Polyporus. The 

 following " Rusts " were also exhibited : (a) Uromyces appendicu- 

 latus Link, on leaflets of the French Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 

 Linn.), var. Epicure, and a yellow-seeded form; from Penshurst 

 and Botanic Gardens; and (b) U. striatus Schrceter, (I) on Lucerne 

 (Medicago sativa Linn.); from the Botanic Gardens, collected by 

 the late Mr. A. Grant, in April, 1906; this is difficult to dis- 

 tinguish from U. trifolii. — Mr. Cheel said that, since the last 

 Meeting, he had received some fresh specimens of a Clover called 

 Chilian Clover (a form of Trifolium pratense Linn.) from the 

 Hawkesbury Agricultural College, infested with the Rust U. 

 trifolii. 



Mr. A. A. Hamilton showed specimens of three plants : 

 (a) Schkuhria isopappa Benth., Whittingham (J. H. Maiden; 

 March, 1908). New for Australia; determined at Kew. A 

 little known plant from New Granada, whose properties have 

 probably not been investigated, as it is not mentioned in avail- 

 able works on this subject, (b) Roubieva multijida Moq., (Syn. 

 Chenopodium multifidum Linn.), Waterloo (J. H. Camfield; No- 

 vember, 1906), West Maitland (J. Burgess; January, 1911), 

 Black wattle Bay (A. A. Hamilton; May, 1913). New for New 

 South Wales. Recorded from Victoria (Proc. Roy. Soc. Yict. 

 N.S. xxii., p. 21) Ewart, White and Rees; and from South Aus- 

 tralia,(Trans Roy. Soc. S. Aust. xxxv., 1911), J. W. Black. This 

 South American plant has probably been introduced in ballast, 

 as it is usually found near the shipping. It has been observed
