I. HISTORICAL. 



This CaUitvis appears to have been first discovered by Gunn at 03^ster 

 Bay, Tasmania, in 1840, and was placed by Bentham, " Flora Australiensis," 

 Vol. VI, p. 238, as Frenela rhomhoidea , variety Tasmanica, but our investigations 

 seem to point to a specific pine, and it is here given such rank, under the name of 

 C. Tasmanica. 



]\Iueller's specimens collected at the Grampians, Victoria, and placed by 

 Bentham as variety mucronata of F. rhomhoidea, I.e., were seen at Kew, and in 

 our opinion are this species.
