H. Tryon, of the Queensland Museum, while on entomologic 

 -excursions to Fraser's Island, the islands of Moreton Bay, and 

 the Bunya Mountains, has brought to our knowledge some new 

 and many rare plants ; in mosses he has been very fortunate. 

 Bryum Triioid, Broth., is named after him. 



Dr. Thos. L. Bancroft has done much collecting in tropical 

 Queensland, and to him we owe much of our knowledge of the 

 timber of the Johnstone River district ; besides which he has 

 worked out the properties of various indigenous plants which 

 cannot fail to be of great service hereafter. That excellent 

 timber tree — the Johnstone River hardwood — BackJuntsia Ban- 

 croftii, Bail., and F.v.M., is dedicated to him. 



W. R. Kefford collected plants on the Johnstone River, a 

 few years ago, and obtained several new orchids and other plants. 

 Cleisustoina Keffordii, Bail., is named after this collector. 



C. J. Wild, who makes a specialty of the mosses, has 

 collected in many parts of Queensland, and has been most 

 successful in the number of new species which he has found. 

 A ncAV genus of the Order Musci, WiUlui, Broth., bears his name. 



Dr. J. Lauterer, who formerly collected in New South Wales, 

 has for the past few years collected many of the plants of the 

 neighbourhood of Brisbane. 



C. F. Plant, of Charters Towers, for the past twelve months 

 ■or so has collected specimens of the indigenous flora of that 

 district, some of which have proved additions to the known 

 Queensland flora. It is to be hoped that he will continue the 

 work, and thus furnish material for a flora of that district. 



C. J. Gwyther has collected in the neighbourhood of 

 Warwick, and not the least interesting of the plants found by 

 him was Lonou/ius mi/rtifoUus, A. Cunn., a beautiful mistletoe, 

 which seems to have escaped detection since its first discovery 

 by Allan Cunningham, over half a century ago. 



E. Cowley, of Kamerunga, has, during the past year 

 collected specimens of several interesting plants ; the most note- 

 worthy, however, is a cassia tree, indentical with one described 

 by Rumphius, in " Herbarium Amboinensis," m 1750. This
