430 BOTANY OF RYLSTONE AND GOULBURN RIVER DISTRICTS, 



Excluding new species, the next most intei'esting finds were : — 



(a) Pomaderris jMlicifolia, Lodd., a species only recorded from 

 this Continent from the "banks of subalpine streams under the 

 Australian Alps, descending into the plains of Gippsland on the 

 Hume and Murray Rivers, F.v.Muellp.r." It also occurs in Tas- 

 mania, and abundantly so in the northern island of New Zealand. 



(b). Eucalyptus track yphloia, F.v.M. 



(c). Loranthus Bidwillii, Benth. 



(d). Grevillea loiigistyla, Hook. 



All these three species occur in Northern Queensland, and one 

 would hardly have expected to have found them at Murrumbo, as 

 they have never been collected in this Colony before. 



I paid particular attention to the Acacias and have endeavoured 

 to elucidate some of the difficulties surrounding the classification 

 of the numerous species of this genus. Some points, I regret, 

 still I'emain unsettled from want of perfect material; for instance, 

 the occurrence in this Colony of A. ixophylla is still, I think, an 

 open question; and the fruits obtained were not sufficiently 

 mature for me to speak with any certainty, for as far as I was 

 able to judge they differed entirely from those desci'ibed by 

 Bentham. 



A. crassiusctda, Wendl., and A. lunata, Sieb., are also species 

 I hope to deal with in a future paper, as the specimens collected 

 were not altogether satisfactory. 



To the Eucalypts I gave perhaps more attention than even the 

 Acacias, as the late Dr. Woolls and Mr. A. G. Hamilton have
