TWO LITTLE-KNOWN AUSTRALIAN MYRTACEA. 
By James Britten, F.L.S. 
In Gaertner’s De Fructibus et Seminibus Plantarum (vol. i. 1791) 
are figured and described two Myrtacee which have not hitherto 
been identified with any recent species: eyen their names, until 
In the course of my recent work at the Australian collections of 
Banks and Sola nder I ee been enabled to dispose of these little-

interest; and I propose to put on record the identifications which 
have been made.

in 1770 are identified by Bentham, who does not cite the Banksian — 
name (Fl. Austral. iii. 286), with H. myrtifolia of Sims, which is of 
course of much later date. Brown, in whose MSS. there is a long
