Lbugopogon coxostephioides, D.C. (Epacrideae). 



Lowden, Preston River, West Australia, Max Koch, August, 

 1908, No. 1893. 



Leucopogon oxycedrus, Sond. var. brevifolius, Benth. 



(Z. rotundifolius, Br. var. ohlongatus, Sond.) (Epacrideae). 



Bentham, in his Flora Australiensis, Vol. IV., page 214, states 

 that Leucopogon rotundifoliits var. ohlongatus, Sond. in Plantae 

 Preiss, 1, 324, may possibly be the same as the variety brevi- 

 folius of Leucopogon orycedrus. 



The species rotund if o/ius and oxycedriis differ in the length 

 of the corolla-tube and lobes, and the variety '" ohlongatus " 

 agrees more closely with L. orycedrus than with L. rotundi- 

 folius. The term hrevifoUus applied to the variety of 

 oxycedrus seems rather a misnomer, since the leaves differ more 

 in breadth than in length from the type. 



The No. 309 of Drummond's fifth collection has narrow 

 leaves, and seems closer to the type form than to the variety. 

 The Gordon Plains specimen of Maxwell also quoted by Ben- 

 tham is, however, practically identical with those previously 

 placed under L. rotundifolius, var. ohlongatus, which name is a 

 synonym for Z. oxycedrus var. hrevifoUus. 

 LiNARiA VULGARIS, L. '' Couimon Toad Flax." (Scrophulariaceae). 



Drouin, Victoria, J. P. McLennan, 1911. 



This plant was previously recorded as a garden escape at 

 Bloomfield, Gippsland, in the Contributions to the Flora of 

 Australia, No. 14, but is now evidently spreading as a natural- 

 ised alien in this State. 



LoRANTHUS SANGUINEUS, F. V. M. var. PULCHER, Ewart n. var. 

 (Loranthaceae). . 



Napier-Broome Bay, North- West Australia, G. F. Hill, April, 

 1910, No. 156. 



The flowers are 2J instead of IJ inches long, and the leaves 

 shorter and broader than usual, but otherwise the plant agrees 

 with the type specimens.
