CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE QUEENSLAND FLORA. 163 



F.v.M. The label bears the following particulars : — Westringia grandi- 

 Jolia F.v.M. {W. rosmariniforn\is Sm., var. grandifoUa F.v.M.), Granite 

 Mountains, near Moreton Bay, F. Mueller, 1857. In the " Flora Austra- 

 liensis" and the " Queensland Flora," Glass House Mountains, which are 

 not granitic, are given as the habitat. Although we know that locality 

 well and have done a good deal of collecting over it, we have never been 

 able to find this variety. It is much more likely that the Granite Moun- 

 tains of Mueller refer to the Stanthorpe district, especially as the Glass 

 House Mountains are none of them granitic. W. grandifoUa does not 

 seem sufficiently well differentiated from the common W. rosmariniformis 

 to stand as a good species, and we have adopted Mueller's second her- 

 barium name ; Mueller himself dropped the species in his " Second 

 Census of Australian Plants." 



W. eremicola A. Cunn. 



Hab. : Stanthorpe, L. A. Bernays ; Toowoomba, H. A. Longman ; 

 Helidon (with leaves attaining 1-J in. in length and occasionally quite 

 flat), F. M. Bailey ; Ipswich, C. T. White ; Wellington Point, J. Wedd ; 

 Brisbane River, F. M. Bailey. 



Excluded Species. 

 W. rosmariniformis Sm. 



F. M. Bailey (" Queensland Flora," iv, 1206) records the habitat of 

 this species as "Southern localities." There are no Queensland speci- 

 mens of the typical form in the Queensland Government herbarium, 

 and we think it better that it should be removed from the list of Queens- 

 land species until authentic material has been gathered. 



W. rigida R. Br. 



The specimens referred to by Bailey (" Queensland Flora," iv, 

 1 206) in our opinion belong to W. Cheelii. It is recorded by Mueller for 

 Queensland without definite habitat in the " Second Census of Aus- 

 tralian Plants," but we think that it should be removed from the list 

 of Queensland species mitil authentic material has been collected and 

 placed in some recognised herbarivun. 



Order LAURINE.E. 

 Cryptocarya australis Benth. 



Tliis species has a wide range in coastal Queensland, extending from 

 the Tweed River in the- South to the Cairns district in the North. In 

 the Northern specimens as a whole the leaf is much larger and more 

 attenuately aciiminate. Some specimens from the Johnstone River 

 collected by Dr. T. L. Bancroft have leaves tip to 5i in. long and look 

 so different from the typical form that we had drawn up a provisional 

 description from them as a newspscies; the floral structure, however, 

 is wholly that of C. australis.
