Longman. The specimen was of special interest, being 
no less than 454 inches in length, and considerably longer 
than any previously recorded specimen. 
Mr. C. T. White exhibited the following specimens, 
all collected in the neighbourhood of Brisbane : 
1. Fruits of Solanum aculeatissimum with several 
growths like smaller fruit clustered round the base, these 
are quite hollow and in most cases attached for the greater 
pert of their length to the ordinary fruit. 
2. Photograph of Musa sp. (Sugar Banana) in the 
garden of Mr. Parker, Kangaroo Point, showing an 
inflorescence gic wing out laterally from the stem about 
3ft. below its .ormal position ; this condition has been 
previously noted by H. Newport, in Northern Queensland 
(Queensland Agric. JI, 31, p. 186.) Specimens of 
Lantana camara showing basal cohesion of opposite pair 
of leaves ; this condition is not at all uncommon in Lantana 
and has been previously noted in New South Wales by 
Fletcher (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 39, pp. 89 and 162.) 
4. Specimens of Sonchus oleraceus and Emilia son- 
chifolia in which a large number of abortive buds on 
slender stalks were produced in the flower heads in place of 
the ordinary florets; floral prolification in the order 
Compositae is quite common and has been noted in 
Sonchus in New South Wales by Hamilton (Proc. Linn. 
Soc. N.S.W. 38, p. 605.)
