C. verrucosa, R. Br. This latter species is a synonym for U. 

 robusta, R. Bi\, to wliich Baker admits liis species closely 

 approaches. The internodes to whicii Baker attaclies special 

 importance are not any shorter than in other specimens of C. 

 rubusta, and the scales which he gives as obtuse are acute as in 

 C. robusta. There can be no doubt that this species is a varialile 

 one, but variations are shown often on one and the same speci- 

 men, and hence it is necessary to retain for it the scope given by 

 Bentham, and include under it such varieties as microcarpa> 

 verrucosa, intratropica, and possibly also the columellaris of F. 

 M., and the Morrisoni of R. T. Baker. The last-named e.speci- 

 ally seems to come within the range of thn C. robusta type, and 

 a similar specimen was referred to that species by Bentham in 

 the Flora Australiensis, p. 237. 



Cassinia l.^rvis, R. Br. (Compositae). 



This plant was recorded by Mueller as new to Victoria (Vict. 

 Nat., vol. X., 1893 and 1894, pp. 132 and 160), on the strength of 

 three specimens, one from Werribee Gorge, A. J. Campbell, 

 1892, one from J. F. Muldei-, C. Otway, 1893, and the other 

 from C. French, Goulburn R. Mr. Tovey drew my attention 

 to the fact that these specimens were peculiar in .several 

 respects, and on e.xamination the Werribee specimen proves 

 to be C. longifolia, R. Br., and the Ot%vay specimen C. 

 aculeata. These three species are fairly closely related, but the 

 specimens in question are identical with tlie types of their respec- 

 tive species. [Specimens and types exhibited]. Hence C laevis 

 has been wrongly recorded as Victorian. 



Cassini.a Tiikodoki, F. v. .M. 



The Victorian specimens in the Herbai'ium all prove to be 

 Cassinia arcuata, R. Br. Hence the former has been wrongly 

 recorded as Victoi'ian owing to incorrect identification. See 

 Vict. Nat, vol. X., p. 160, 1894. 



Chamaklaucium Halli, n. sp. (Myrtaceae), (after the Secretary 

 of the Royal Society). Cowcowing, W.A., IVI. Koch, Sept., 1904. 



A small shrub with stiff erect rough greyish branches, the 

 leaves alternate and closely set at their ends in clusters of
