Scortechinit, named by Baron Mueller in appreciation of Father 
Scortechini’s successful efforts on this occasion. 
His visits to the Tambourine Mountain, to Wilson’s Peak, and 
to the Tweed district were prolific in new discoveries. These are 
detailed in great measure in two papers :—‘ Contributions to a 
South Queensland Flora” (Proc. Linnean Society of New South 
Wales, Jan., 1881, Vol. VI.) and “ Half Century of Plants New to 
South Queensland” (Proc. Linnean Society, New South Wales, 
Vol. VIIL., p. 213), read on 28th January, 1882, written by Father 
Scortechini himself, and in Baron Mueller’s Fragmenta, Vol. XI., 
and in some other miscellaneous contributions to botanical 
literature from the pen of the latter phytologist. Amongst the 
new plants thus brought to light are—Daviesca arborea, F. v. M. & 
B. Scort., a tree attaining a height of 40 feet and conspicuous, to 
use the language of the discoverer, for “the copiousness of its 
racemes of bright yellow flowers covering it as with a mass of 
gold.” This beautiful plant was found growing on the top Mount 
Tambourine, between that station and the Coomera, at Burleigh 
Heads, and towards the Tweed River. 
Another new discovery was one of those corky vines named in 
this case by Baron Mueller, in 1882 (Wing’s “ Southern Science 
Record,” vol. II., p. 73), Alezoneuron Scortechinit, and afterwards 
found to extend into N.S.W. Agonis Scortechiniana, F. v. M., 
was another novelty, a handsome myrtaceous plant, described by 
the same learned authority (‘‘ Framenta,” vol. XI, p. 118), 
found growing at Stradbroke Island; and Srachyloma Scor- 
techint, F. v. M., (op. cit. p. 121) is the name of a beautifully 
growing epacrid which he procured in the immediate vicinity of 
Burleigh Heads. Amongst important economic plants to which 
he drew attention was Acronychia (melicopioides), a plant growing 
about the scrubs of ‘tambourine Mountain and in the stony ridges 
of Tallebudgera, concerning which he reported, “It is remarkable
