Hab. prope Labyrinth Bay, Palm Island, and Kocky Point, 

 Endeavour Careeniug-place. 



Labyrinth Bay is on the east coast of Cape York peninsula. 

 The Palm Islands are about 18° 45' S. lat., 146° 40' E. long. ; and 

 Thirsty Sound (the locality mentioned on the drawing) is 22° 15' S. 

 lat., 150° E. long. 



E. Brown identified his specimens from Keppel Bay, Shoalwater 

 Bay, and Broad Sound, n. 3219, with those of Banks. 



This is the plant mentioned under the name of F. radnla in 

 Banks's Journal, p. 316 (ed. J. D. Hooker, 1896), where it is stated that 

 the Australian natives polish their darts with the leaves of this wild 

 fig tree, " which bite upon wood almost as keenly as our European 

 shave-grass [Equisetum hyemale L.] used by the joiners " ; it is not 

 the R. Radula Willd. The native name is given in Solander' s MS. 

 as *' de poor."
