plants sent proved new, and some of as much interest as if new. 

 For instance, from the Walsh this collector sent specimens of 

 Enjthro.ct/lo7i ellipticinii, which was only previously known from 

 the specimens obtained by Robert Brown, now nearly a century 

 ago, on the mainland opposite to Groote Eylandt in the Gulf 

 of Carpentaria. In the flora this plant is described as a shrub, 

 but it seems to attain the stature of a small tree, and supplies a 

 handsome durable wood. Ti/phonium Millari, Bail., is named 

 after this lover of plants, and persevering collector. 



R. C. Burton has collected many rare plants when travel- 

 ling through the unsettled parts of tropical and western Queens- 

 land ; some of which have proved new ; one of the last is named 

 after him — Trichininm Biirtonii, Bail. 



James Keys, a few years ago, collected a great number 

 of the indigenous plants of the Mount Perry district. A velvety 

 leaved wax-flower bears his name — Hoi/a 7vV//.s//, Bail., and the 

 moss Hyjinnni f Heteroplii/lhon j, Kcysii, Kijer. 



H. Schneider has for some years past collected the native 

 plants of Southern Queensland, especially about Nerang Creek, 

 several of which have proved new ; the very distinctive form of 

 AspJenixuii atteniuitnw , car. ScJmeiden, Bail., bears his name, and 

 Dntilrobi 11)11 Sr/ineidercr, Bail., of his wife, also a collector and 

 cultivator of our indigenous plants. A few months ago he, in 

 company with H. Tryon, of the Queensland Museum, went on a 

 collecting trip to the Macpherson Range, and again added to our 

 knowledge of the flora. 



Alex. Macpherson collected plant specimens in the vicinity 

 of Stanthorpe and other parts of Southern Queensland, all of 

 which were determined by myself. Mr. Macpherson 's object in 

 collecting was to obtain species producing fibre of a commercial 

 value. A large collection of fibres formed by him are in the 

 Museum of Economic Botany, Brisbane. 



In 188-4 J. W. R. Stuart collected orchids in the scrub 

 lands between Mourilyan Harbour and Herberton, by which 

 many new species were discovered. Demhohium Stuartii, Bail.^ 

 bears the name of this collector.
