NOTES. 247 



PAGE 85. 



Dr. F. Mueller has kindly furnished me with, the following 

 note to my article on Perns : Grammitis Muelleri (Crocodile 

 Creek, Bowman) ; Lycopodium laterale (Buckingham Bay) ; 

 Schizcea lifida (Bockingham Bay) ; AcrosticTium aureum L. (Rich- 

 mond Biver, N.S.W., 'Henderson) ; Lomaria articulata, which 

 was supposed to be a new species, proves identical with L. eupJile- 

 bia, an Indian fern described in the Species Filicum (vol. 3, p. 

 20). Grammitis decurrens is the true Indian plant, but in the 

 Kew Museum, it has been ascertained that it is identical with G. 

 elliptica (Thunberg). Lomaria Patersoni (George Bay, Tasmania, 

 Bissell) . OpJiioglossum pendulum (Bockhampton on Platy cerium) . 

 A friend informs me that on the Clarence, some of the fronds of 

 Asplenium nidus are seven feet long and one broad ! 



At page 177, the Bubiaceous shrubs to which reference is 

 made are CantJiium coprosmoides and Coprosma Tiirtella. The 

 EubiacecB are not numerous in New South Wales, but in the 

 northern parts of Australia, the species occur frequently. In 

 the flora Austmliensis, the genera are arranged in the following 

 order: (1) Sarcoceplialus ; (2) Hedyotis; (3) Dentella ; (4) 

 Opliiorrhiza ; (5) Gardenia; (6) Eandia; (7) Webera; (8) 

 Diplospora; (9) Ixora ; (10) Timonius; (11) ScypUpliora ; 

 (12) AntirrliKa; (13) Guettardella; (14) Gueltarda ; (15) 

 Hodgkinsonia ; (16) OantUum ; (17) Morinda; (18) Ccelo- 

 sporum ; (19) Lasiantfius ; (20) PsycJiotria ; (21) Coprosma ; (22) 

 Nertera; (23) Opercularia ; (24) :Pomax\ (25) Eleutfiranthes ', 

 (26) Knoxia (27) Spermacoce ; (28) Asperula ; and (29) Galium. 

 To these must be added two very remarkable plants recently dis- 

 covered at Cape York, by Captain Nares of H.M.S. Salamander, 

 viz., Myrmecodia armata, and Hydnophytum formicarum, which 

 were previously supposed to be indigenous only in Java, the 

 Moluccas, Sumatra, and Nusa-Kambangu. Ants form nests in 

 the tubers and roots of M. armata, and in the trunk or irregular 

 tubers of H. formicaru/in.

In referring to the plants from the Kurrajong, Hedycarya 

 Pseudomorus (probably the same as H. Cunningliami) is abundant. 

 Some persons call this tree " the Native Mulberry." It is a tree 

 of the Monimiacece, and resembles another of the same order,
