Endeavour’s River and Point Look-out. 
Mr. C. B. Clarke (in Journ. Bot., 1881, p. 140), says that he has not seen Australian 
specimens of Z. sambucina, and refers the plant so called by Bentham (lc.) to Z. 
Brunoniana, a new species which he establishes (Le. 
166) on Brown’s specimens from 
“Arnheim Islands.” 
Mr. Clarke does not seem to have noticed the Banksian specimen 
which corresponds with Indian specimens named by him Z. sambucina. L. sambucina 
as well as Z. Brunoniana is recorded by F. von Mueller for Queensland (under the name 
L. Staphylea Roxb., which both Bentham and Clarke cite as a synonym), in his second 
Census of Australian Plants, p. tog (1889). ‘The matter is further complicated by the fact 
that Mr. Clarke does not cite the plants from Allan Cunningham and Mueller on the faith 
of which Bentham (who refers neither to Brown’s nor to the Banksian specimen) included.

DODONATA VISCOSA L. var. LAURINA 
D. VISCOSA a VULGARIS’ Benth. Fl. Austral. i. 476; Bailey, Queensland Flora, i. 314. 
[PraTE 42.] 
Solander in his MS. considers this identical with D. viscosa, already described in his 
MS. on the plants of the Pacific Islands ; the Australian plants he noted as differing only 
in having ‘capsule multo majores quam in insulis Oceani Pacifici profundiusque 
emarginate ; diameter r-unc.” On the drawing, however, and in the Herbarium are other 
specific names ; that in the Herbarium is here adopted for the plant as being at least a 
well marked variety of D. viscosa. It differs from the type not only in the size (and dark 
brown colour) of the fruit, but in the foliage, the general appearance of which suggested 
the name adopted. This latter character was observed by Bentham who, although: 
including it under his D. viscosa a vulgaris, says: “Some specimens from Endeavour’s: 
River, both in the Banksian and in Cunningham’s collections, are remarkable for their 
thick obscurely veined leaves.” Cunningham attached to his plant (No. 147 in Herb. 
Kew), which is identical with that under consideration, a MS. name which he attributes to:

Endeavour’s River. 
Bentham (Fl. Austral. i. 484) describes Banks’s specimens as differing from the 
type in being “ scarcely more than pubescent, with numerous narrow leaflets and narrows 
winged, scarcely hirsute, old fruits” ; he named these in the Herbarium “ var. gdubrescens.
