112 Etvart, Wliite and Bees: 



It seems to be nearest to G. poIyKtaclnjum, Meissner. It is 

 easily distinguished externally from that species by the leaves 

 not beinp: undulate and the racemes not sessile. 



HiBBERTiA MiLLARi, F. M. Bailey. (Dillcniaceae). 



This Queensland plant is distinguished from Hihhertia 

 anyustifoUa, Benth. {Hihhertia Benthavn, F.v.M.) {Heinis- 

 temma angustifolia, R.Br.), as being " of more robust habit, 

 with fewer and larger tiowers in the spike, and without the 

 prominent rusty-red midrib of the leaf of that species." An 

 original specimen of R. Brown's is quite as robust, and the red 

 midrib is quite as prominent in one of Bailey's specimens as in 

 some of H. angustifolia. If the description of the latter were 

 amended so as to read " leaves with a more or less prominent 

 rusty-red midrib, flowers in clusters of 1 to 5 (instead of 2 to 

 5), sepals about 4 lines long (instead of 3 lines)," this would in- 

 clude the present plant and avoid the necessity for the crea- 

 tion of a new species or variety. 



The plant given in the Recording Census of the Victorian 

 Flora as H. angustifolia should be H. prorumhens, D.C., the 

 H. Benthami of F. v. Mueller reverting to the name of H. 

 angustifolia, Benth. 



Hibiscus Trionum, L. (Malvaceae). " Bladder Hibi.scus." 



Coode Island, J. R. Tovey and C. French Jr., Oct., 1908. 

 Only previously recorded as a naturalised alien from the 

 North-Western district. 



Leptospermum scoparium, Forst., var. rotuxdifolia, 

 Maiden and Betche. (Myrtaceae). 



(Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales, 

 1900, Vol. XXV., page 101.) 



The authors were doubtful as to whether this plant belonged 

 to L. flarescens or L. scoparium. It is undoubtedly nearest to the 

 var. grandiflorum (L. grandiflorum, Lodd) of L. flavescens, 

 and specimens of the same plant Avere labelled L. grandiflorum.
