terminations to the branches, and by the occurrence of the 

 flowers in clusters, They may however also be solitary, 

 and one specimen exhibits both characteristics. Bentham in fact 

 suggested that the solitary flowers of D. microphylla might not 

 be a constant feature, and a specimen named by Bentham D. 

 microphylla, but originally named D. incrassata, 8m., has 

 leaves approaching closely to those of D. mesophylla. Un- 

 fortunately Bentham's specimen has no flowers, hence it can not at 

 present be definitely determined whether we are dealing with 

 a strongly marked variety D. microphylla or with a recently 

 evolved species, still connected to the parent type by inter- 

 mediate forms. 



Daviesia ulicina, Smith, var. subumbellata (Leguminosae). 

 Victoria desert, Elder Expedition, R. Helms, 1891. 

 Not previously recorded from W. Australia. 



DODONAEA ADENOPHORA, Miq., var. ovata, n. var. (Sapindaceae). 

 Specimens were sent, in 1884, from Adelaide by J. H. Brown 

 to von Mueller, and laid aside for future examination. The 

 specimens have a very different superficial aspect to the type 

 specimen of Miquel with which, however, they agree in all essen- 

 tial features. The leaves differ in having a larger number of 

 leaflets, commonly 1 1 ; the leaflets are relatively l)roader (usually 

 3 mm. long by 1 broad), more regularly arranged and more ovate, 

 and hence the plant may be distinguished as variety ovata.
