Ltperanthus serratus, Lindl. (Caladenia serrata, Reiohb.) 

 (Orchidaceae). 



Lowden, Preston River, West Australia, Max Koch, Oct., 



1910. No. 2081. 



Tliis and the allied species L. suaveolens, R. Br., were placed 

 by Bentham under Caladenia in the Flora Australiensis, Vol. 

 YL, pp. 385 and 6, but their affinities are undoubtedly with 

 Lyperanthus. 



Marianthus pictus, Lindl. (Pittosporeae). 



Near Cut Hill, York, West Australia, 0. H. Sargent,' No. 

 442. 



This plant is sometimes known as M. lineatus, F. v. M., 

 which is distinouished by its denser corymbs, shorter and 

 stouter pedicels. These are, however, variable characters, and 

 Baron von Mueller mentions in his Frag-menta, Yol. XII., page 

 3, that the supposed difference in the seeds does not exist. M. 

 lineatus is therefore only a synonym for J/, picfus. Tlie former 

 name was dropped by Mueller in his last Census.

 (Compositae). 



Coode Island, Victoria, J. R. Tovey and C. French Jnr., Oct.,
