Persoonia ciiamvEPITYS, a. Cunn. At the top of the Gulf Road, 

 on the loose sandy flat; October. 



P. LINEARIS, Andr. The most common of all Persoonias, on 

 worthless sandy ground and rocks; September (fruits). 



P. RiGiDA, R. Br. Near the Goulburn River, Murrumbo. 



P. CURVIFOLIA, R. Br. Only found on the western watershed, 

 i.e., at Camboon. This is therefore its most easterly 

 habitat yet recorded; October (fruits). 



P, 1 OBLONGATA, A. Cunn. Not common ; on sandstone 

 country at Kelgoola. 



P. ? CuNNiNGHAMii, R. Br. I have placed my specimens 

 provisionally under this species as I was only able to 

 obtain them in fruit. It difFei's from Bentham's descrip- 

 tion of /'. Cunninghainii in having reflexed hairs on the 

 branches, pedicels not glabrous nor slender, and a 

 pubescent ovary, veins of leaf fairly prominent; Bylong 

 Ranges. 



Grevillea mucronulata, R. Br. A small shrub occurring only 

 at Murrumbo, and having "leaves rounded at the ends 

 and shortly mucronate." This was the form found by 

 A. Cunningham on the Hunter River (B. Fl. v. p. 443), 

 and is made the type of the species by Bentham {loc. cit.); 

 September and October. 



G. LONGisTYLA, Hook. On the Ranges on the north side of 

 Murrumbo Plains. The specimens obtained are referred 

 to this species on the authority of Baron F. v. Mueller, 

 who, in giving his reasons, says that Bentham's des- 

 cription of this species is incorrect as regards the length 

 of pedicel, style, &c. My specimens differ from 

 those described by Bentham in the length of the pedicels, 

 which are under 6 lines, whereas Bentham gives 2-4 

 inches; the leaves are all under 1 line in width, whereas 

 Bentham gives 2 lines ; they are linear, pinnatifid or
