*Keraudrenia Hookeriana, Walpers. — Girilambone, N.S.W, 

 (W. Bauerlen). The specimens agree fairly well with the pub- 

 lished descriptions of the species, except some minor differences 

 such as calyx-lobes coloured pink and not acute; capsule more 

 angular, sometimes even winged; stamens and staminodia quite 

 persistent, even until after the seed has dropped out of the 

 capsules.
