Endeavour’s River. I follow Bentham in placing this plant under Z. pendulus, but 
it may well be that more than one species is included under that name in the Mora 
Australiensis.

Endeavour’s River. Bentham, probably correctly, unites S. odlongatum with S. 
Zanceolatum, but I have retained the former name for the plate, as it was on Banks’s 
specimens that Brown established S. od/ongatum, and the plate is therefore typical for 
that form,

Endeavour’s River. The “single specimen in Herb. R. Brown,” which Bentham 
(1.c.) mentions and on which Brown’s description is based, is supplemented in the National 
Herbarium by others from Banks and Solander ; but no other collectors seem to have 
found the plant.
