r. Gunn (n. 370.)—Good specimens 
of this, together with the remarks of Mr. 
nn, have satisfied me that it is quite 
distinct from O. macrophylla (with which 
I had confounded it). It is more allied to 
O. acetosella.

Of this most distinct species, other spe- 
cimens are now sent by Mr. Gunn (n. 
456.) from Woolworth, N. W. corner of 
the island; and one of the V. D. L. 
Co.’s Establishments. These show that 
the leaves are times impresso-punc- 
tate on the upper side; and that Mr. 
Cunningham's plant, found at Hobart 
Town and Marquarrie Harbour, is the 
same.

—C. ferrugine, Gunn MSS. 
Mr. Gunn (n. 557.)— This handsome 
species is sent by Mr. Gunn, with the 
name (hitherto nicis as far as I 
know) of ferruginea attached to it, which 
is here retained. he leaves are. 
largest of any of the species, often two 
inches and more in length, always acute, 
or attenuated at the base, the undersi 
copiously clothed with stellated rusty 
tomentum, marked with deeper coloured 
ots. The flowers are longer, and much 
more slender than in C. Backhousiana 
(next to which species it should be placed), 
and the stamens are much exserted. The 
young shoots are very red.

—Copious specimens of this plant from 
Mr. Gunn (n. 455.) exhibit all the cha- 
racters of the species, and prove that 
it is truly distinct from the. following. | 
It is very abundant on the. banks of the E 
South Esk, near Launceston, growing 
six or seven and more feet high. a 4
