NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



Mr. E. Cheel sent for exhibition fresh flowering specimens of CalUstemon 

 pallidus (Bonpland) DC. The seeds from which the plant was raised, now 

 cultivated at Ashfield, were collected on Mount Jellore in May, 1916; the plant 

 is now 9 feet high, having flowers of a creamy-white colour. Although the plant 

 is seven years old, it is the flrst time it has flowered. Plants almost identical 

 with those on Mount Jellore are to be found at Jenolan Caves, Mount Seaview, 

 and Mount Nelligen in this State, and Buffalo Ranges in Victoria. It is also 

 quite common in Tasmania, and has previously been listed as a synonym under 

 C. salignus DC, but is quite distinct. 



Mr. W. F. Blakely exhibited from the National Herbarium fruiting speci- 

 mens of Acacia subtilinervis F.v.M., a rare species for N.S.W., from near Nowra 

 (Dr. F. A. Kodway). The pods do not appear to have been described before. 

 When very young they are minutely scurfy; mature pods linear, glabrous, flat or 

 the valves slightly convex over the seeds, margins nerve-like, 5 — 6 cm. long, 4 

 mm. broad; seeds placed longitudinally, oblong, 4 mm. long; areolae oblong, 

 about half the length of the seed; funicle white, slightly dilated, with 2 or 3 

 folds at the end of the seed. 



It is also represented in the Herbarium from Clyde Mountain (W. Bauerlen) 

 ami Yowaka via Pambula (H. W. Smith). 



Mr. J. Ramsay, by invitation, showed a number of lantern slides illustrating 

 the results of timber cutting in the National Park.
