say; no doubt this point is worthy of investigation as this may or may not ac- 

 count for the limitation of its range. 



Its chief food plant is Casuarina suberosa in New South Wales, but, like P. 

 eelastroides and P. eucalyptoicles, it is very partial to the exotic genera. 



Synonyms. — L. Cunninghamii A. Gray, L. pendidus Benth. {non Sieber), 

 Dendrophthoe congener G. Don. 



Range. — From Herbarium specimens examined, the species is confined to New 

 South Wales and Queensland. Its most southern limit in the former State is 

 Bermagui, 363 miles south from Port Jackson, the type locality, and it extends 

 noi'thward as far as TownsviUe, North Queensland. It would not be at all 

 surprising to find this coast-loving species stiU further south and north of the 

 localities mentioned above.
