Queensland, Leichhardt, the precise locality unl^nown. The specimens might be mis- 

 taken for those o[Duloma myoporoides, were it not for the narrow acute corolla-lobe, ana, 

 as in the case of A. Hopwoodii, until the fruit shall have been observed it is in some mea 

 sure uncertain whether it should be referred to A,ithocercis or to Buboisia.
