diameter. Stamens very numerous, 2 lines (4 mm.) long.

Hab.: Fraser Island, W. R. Petrie. 
This tree in the past has been confused with E.cyanocarpa F.v.M., 
and when one of us (C. T. W.) was on Fraser Island in May 1921 Mr. 
Petrie drew his attention to it and 2. cyanocarpa, which is also common 
there ; the two trees are quite distinct in the field, #. Petriei seems to be 
more or less confined to the creek banks, the branches usually overhanging 
the water. 
In botanical sequence this new species comes nearest to EL. cyanocarpa, 
the distinctions being as follows :— 
Leaves 2-4 in. long, ?-14 in. broad; stamens } in. long or more ; 
fruit globular—E. cyanocarpa. 
Leaves mostly 4-43 in. long, 14-2 in. broad, stamens 2 lines long, 
fruit oblong—E. Petriei. 
OrpER UMBELLIFERA#. 
Siebera Billardieri Benth. var. lanceolata. All the Queens- 
land specimens in the Queensland Herbarium represent the 
above variety. We have specimens from the following 
localities :—Macpherson Range, H. Tryon, C. T. White; 
Helidon, F. M. Bailey; Crow’s Nest, Kenny and White; 
Cooroy, H. A. Longman; Fraser Island, F. C. Epps, J. E. 
Young. 
OrDER COMPOSITA. 
Olearia oliganthema F.v.M. This New South Wales shrub, 
which was previously unrecorded for Queensland, was collected 
onthe Macpherson Range, Killarney district, by C. P. Saunders. 
The Queensland specimens differ from the type in possessing 
larger flowers and in the involucral bracts being densely silky 
pubescent. The description in the “ Flora Australiensis ” was 
drawn up from meagre material, and the plant evidently shows 
a much greater variation than there described. 
OrDER EPACRIDEAS. 
Epacris longiflora Cav. Collected on Mount Lindesay by 
W. Hill. J. E. Young and C. T. White also collected it there 
recently, and noticed that it was common on cliff faces. We
