Callitris rhomboidea, R. Br. var. ta^^manica, (Coniferae). 



Deal Island, Kents Group, Judge Dobson, 1884. 



This was at first considered to be possibly a new species, and 

 was submitted to Dr. Koorders for critical examination, who 

 found it to be unlike any species in the Buitenzorg Garden or 

 Herbarium. On further examination it appears, howeA^er, to be 

 referable to the variety " tasmanica " of C. rhomhoidea , which 

 R. T. Baker raises to specific rank largely on account of its 

 somewhat different appearance in the field. 



Benthani gives as its distinguishing characters: — Cones, h to 

 I inches thick, and rugose at the back, the dorsal point or 

 prominence less distinct than in the y-A^viety ^'mucronafa.'' (It is 

 more distinct than in the type. It is, in fact, doubtful if the 

 variety " mucronata '" is valid, since the development of the 

 dorsal prominence varies even on the same specimen.) 



Baker merges both these varieties into his Callitris tasmanica. 



Calgthamnus homalophyllus, F. v. M. var. angustifolia, 

 E.wart n. var. (Myrtaceae). 



Central Greenough, West Australia, Max Koch, Sept. 1910, 

 No. 2086. 



The leaves on this variety are much longer and narrower than 

 the type, 2 to 3 inches long, 2 to 3 mm. broad. Fruits are a 

 little smaller than usual, and prominently warted. 



A specimen from the Upper Irvine and Champion's Bay, placed 

 by Mueller as C. homalophyllus var., is intermediate in its 

 leaves between this variety and the type. 



Calotis lappulacea, Benth. (Compositae). 



Bacchus Marsh District, Victoria, J. R. Tovey and C. French 

 Jnr., Nov., 1910. 



A new localitv for this plant, previously recorded in Victoria 

 from the North -West and North-East. 



CtaENOPODiUM AMBRosioiDE^^, L. " Mcxican Tea." (Chenopodiaceae).
