PuLTENAEA ADUNCA, Turcz. (Leguuiinosae). 



Twenty-live miles North- West of Port Lincoln. South Austra- 

 lia, E. H. D. Griffith, 10/10 09, only previously recorded from 

 West Australia. 



The specimen has the leaf obtuse. It may also be hooked at 

 the tip. Calyx, bracteoles, ovary, corolla agree with the type. 

 The style is, however, not specially thick or hooked. This may 

 be an error in Bentham's description. 



ToLPis UMBELLATA, Bert. (Compositae). 



Geelong, Victoria, December. 1909, and February, 1910, H. 

 B. Williamson. 



This plant is close to T. harhata, Gaertn. It differs in having 

 few or no stem leaves, oblong-linear instead of lanceolate 

 leaves, shorter involucral bracts and usually smaller and nar- 

 rower ligulate corollas. The fruit and pappus are practically 

 identical in both. In Moore's " Handbook to the Flora of New 

 South Wales," page 425, Tolpia harhatcu Gaertn, is recorded 

 as an escape from cultivation. Three New South Wales speci- 

 mens in the Herbarium, however (Berrima ; Richmond, Wools ; 

 and Parramatta, L. Atkinson) all prove to be T. umhellata. 



In Victoria, the plant is hardly common or well enough estab- 

 lished to be considered a naturalised alien as yet. 



Veronica salicifolia x V. speciosa (V. Andersonii, Hort.). 

 (Scrophulariaceae). 



P. R. St. John, Hanging Rock, Woodend, Victoria, Feb., 

 1910. 



This hybrid, often grown in gardens under the name of V . 

 Andersonii, was found growing apparently wild, but has evi- 

 dently been planted accidentally or purposefully, and can there- 

 fore only be classed as a garden escape.
