IsOPOGON PETiOLARis, A. Cunn. Bylong Ranges; October. 



I. Dawsoni, R.T.B. Murrumbo, on the summit of the 

 Ranges on the north of the Murrumbo Plains. The 

 original specimen upon which this species was founded 

 was not a true representative. A second visit to this 

 locality revealed a much larger shrub than formerly 

 described. It is at least 20 feet high, in fact the tallest 

 of Isopogons in Eastern Australia. The flowers are also 

 very showy and attractive, and as it flowers freely it 

 presents quite a picture, and is well worthy of culti- 

 vation; September. 



'CONOSPERMUM TAXIFOLIUM, Sm., var. LANCEOLATUM, R. Br. 



Bylong and Murrumbo; October and November. This 

 variety was collected on the Hunter River by Robert 

 Brown.
