378 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 
A full account is given of #. acervula, Miq., non. Sieb., 
also of H. acervula, Hook. f., non. Sieb. (Fl. Tas. i. 135), as 
E. acervula, Sieb., and critical observations are given in 
regard to a number of type specimens. 
The position of #. Stuartiana, F.v.M., is discussed, and 
also of the 7. Gunni, F.v.M. ; 
Then we come to var. ovata, D. and M., which is full of 
interest to Tasmanian botanists. Syn. #. ovata, Labill., 
(Nov. Holl. Pl. i. 13. t. 153). 
EL. androsmefolia, Hoffmg. (Verz. Pfl. Nachtr. 1. 113). 
EL. mucronata, Link. (Enum. Hort. Berol. 11. 30). 
EH. caniphora, R. T. Baker (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 
xxiv. 298). 
It is not possible to usefully abstract this paper, as far 
as variety ovata is concerned, any more than as regards. 
variety acervula. The paper contains much research, 
some of it the result of my recent visits to the principal 
European herbaria, and examination of material since 
entrusted to my care. 
Mr. Deane and I established two other varieties viz. : — 
Var. rubida (E. rubida, D. and M., &c.), and var. maculosa 
(EZ. maculosa, R. T. B.). 
These varieties are of less interest to Tasmanian botanists, 
but is is quite possible that both forms may be found to 
exist in Tasmania, and therefore, I would suggest that my 
original paper be consulted. 
I have attached a list of species and synonyms referred to 
in this paper, which will, I think be of practical utility. 
Q.—Z#. Viminalis, Labill. P 
This like #. Gunn, is a species which was first described 
from Tasmanian specimens, and afterwards found to be 
extensively distributed on the mainiand. 
Mr. Deane and I have critically examined the species in 
Proc. Linn. Soc. N.8.W. [2] 1901, to which paper I beg to 
refer my readers. 
Following are some classical specimens I have examined— 
1. Robert Brown, Tasmania, 1802-5. No. 4740. 
River Derwent. 
Ditto, No. 42. 
2. No. 685, R. Gunn. Collected at Hobart, 29/2/’40. 
The truncate appearance of unripe fruits, referred 
to under Gunnii, is also observable in £. viminalis 
around Hobart. In various herbaria, incl. Herb. 
Syd.
