BY THE BEV. B. SCORTECHINI, LL.B., F.L.S. 221 



In the swamps which for a considerable extent stretch north 

 of Burleigh Heads, this slender plant is to be seen making its 

 way through the low swampy vegetation. 



Jachsonia StacMiousii, F.v.M., Proc. Linn. Soc, N.S.W. 



There is little room for doubting that the scanty and imperfect 

 specimens of a Jachsonia which I gathered at Burleigh Head 

 swamps belong to this newly described species. Its low growth, 

 the difference in the length of the calyx lobes as compared with 

 those of J. scoparia, with which it might be confused, point to 

 this species. Add to this that the locality from which the original 

 specimen came is not far away from Burleigh Heads. 



Viminaria denudata, Sm., Exot. Bot. 51, f. 27. 



Among the swampy growth of Burleigh Heads. Also on 

 cretaceous soil near the Logan Village. A common species in 

 the Murray scrubs ; South Australia. 



Daviesia corymlata, Sm., Ann. Bot. I., 502. 



In one locality alone have I met with this species. This was 

 on the road from Nerang to Southport. 



Daviesia arhorea, F.v.M. and B. Scort. ined. 



The student of cabinet specimens may find himself puzzled in 

 discriminating this species from the foregoing. Yet when the 

 two plants are studied in their natural habitats they offer no 

 difficulty and one can conclude with certainty that they are 

 specifically distinct. The subject of this note bears out fully its 

 specific appellation. It attains the stature of a tree, so contrary 

 to the habit of its congeners, most of which are puny shrubs. 

 Tlie heighth of D. arlorca reaches as high as forty feet, having 

 a thick trunk more than a foot in diameter of a hard, whitish 

 wood. The aspect of the tree calls to mind some of the large 

 Acacias. In my rambles I never met with this tree further north
