Viola Sieberiana (Spreng.).—An old established species, 
which has been reduced to a variety of the very variable V. 
hederacea Lab., but apparently without sufficient justification. 
Though doubtless closely allied to that species in Tasmania, 
at least, its habit is distinct. Mr. Fitzgerald, who kindly 
supplied me with considerable material, tells me it is common 
in localities near George’s Bay, whereit grows in conjunction 
with, but always distinct from, V. hederacea. 
Habit tufted and stoloniferous. Leaves rhomboid to ovate, 
crenate, to jin. long, on long slender petioles; stipules 
adnate at the base, brown, lanceolate, acute, denticulate on the 
margin. Scapes shorter than the leaves, elongating after 
flowering. Petals narrow, linear, 1} lineslong. Seeds white 
or black. Other details agreeing with V. hederacea. (Plate IL.) 
Australina miiellerti (Wedd.).—A much more robust plant 
than A. pussila (Gand.), with a different habit and foliage, but 
similar inflorescence, was reduced to a variety chiefly from 
their being found at distinct localities. On the southern 
slopes of Mount Wellington they grow together without any 
tendency to converge. 
Saponaria tuberlosa (FE. v. M.).—This rare plant has been 
found near George’s Bay Heads by Wm. Fitzgerald ; only few 
Specimens were procurable, and he considered this, together 
with some rare eastern Australian sedges in the same locality, 
might have been transported by migrating ducks. 
Eucalyptus perriniana (FE. v. M.). was described at the 
meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science 
at Melbourne, from specimens procured from immature trees 
not yet in flower. It is a Eucalypt that has long been known 
in the Hamilton and, I believe, one or two other districts, and 
an effort has often been made to learn its affinity ; but in the 
absence of flowers and fruit this was not possible. The kind- 
ness of Rev. Mr. Dicker and Superintendent Hedberg has 
placed at my disposal various specimens in different stages ; 
but we are still in want of some mature information desirable 
before forming a definite opinion. The tree, where hitherto 
observed, has a decidedly bushy habit, grows in a copse, and 
only attains 10 to 20 feet high. The trees are only now 
attaining maturity. The leaves, till a year or two ago, were 
all opposite, connate and orbicular ; upon the trees attaining 
a height of 10 to 15 feet the leaves became alternate, petioled, 
and lanceolate, with exactly the form and venation of some 
forms of EL. viminalis. The flowers commenced to develop 
in the upper opposite leaves, and continued more numerously 
in the axils of the alternate ones, and appear always in 
threes. The flowers, stamens, and fruit appear in no detail 
to differ from the small flowering forms of EH. viminalis, and 
I should feel disposed to think that H. perriniana bore the
