 In addition F. von Mueller, under Xerotes, included in his Census 

 three species, which were included under Ghamaexeros and Acdn- 

 thocarpiis by Bentham in his Flora Australiensis, Vol. VII. These 

 two Genera are distinguished from Lomandra (Xerotes) by the 

 hermaphrodite flowers, single long style and small stigma, hut 

 cannot he satisfactorily distinguished generically from each other. 

 As Acanthocarpm is the older name the three species should read 

 as follows : — 



ACANTHOCARPUS, Lehm. PI. Preiss, II, 274, 1847. (Chaniaexeros, 

 Benth., 1878).
