324 Eivart and White: 



The plant is not recorded in the Floras of either Queensland 

 or Xew S. Wales. Mueller noted (Fragm., viii., 150) its re- 

 semblance to the S. African Brahejum steUati folium, L., and 

 suggested that this species and Macadamia {Helicia) ternifolia 

 possibly belonged to the genus Brabejuni. Macadamia terni- 

 folia is apparently valid, and is accepted in Engler's Pflanzen 

 familien, but M. verticillata is identical with Brahejum stellati- 

 foliiim, and the single supposed Australian specimen was evi- 

 dently taken bv Leichardt from a cultivated tree. 



Ortiiocahpus pusillus, Bentli. (Scropliulariaceae). 



C. L. Forrest, Colac, Nov., 1905 ; Irrewarra, Nov., 1909. This 

 little weed has been mistaken for a form of Bartsia latifolia. 

 It is a native of California, and though apparently not particu- 

 larly abundant in its native home, has permanently established 

 itself as a naturalized alien in Victoria. Its properties are not 

 known, but it does not at present appear to be a serious weed. 



PiTHOCARPA coRYMBULOhA, Lindl. (Compositae). 



Woorooloo, West Australia. 



Max Koch, Jan., 1908. No. 1895. 



PiTVKODiA (Ciiloanthh:s) coerulka (F. v. M. and Tate). 

 Ewart and White. (Verbenaceae). 



The unnamed specimens of this plant among the supplements 

 in the National Herbarium had been examined, and were about 

 to be described as a new species, when it was found that they 

 had already been described undor ChloatUliiiS (Hot. Central))latt 

 1893, p. 317). Curiously enough, Mueller neither labelled 

 the type specimens nor inserted the name in the Census, al- 

 though the species is certainly a valid one. The plant has a 

 pleasant fragrance when rubbed or broken. The stamens are 

 four in number. The seeds are apparently endospermic. The 

 other features areas in the original description under Chloanthus.
