tempted to regard the two species as synonymous. Okamura (Bot. 
Mag. Tokyo, vol. xviii. 1904, 88) records C. gelidioides from 
Sydney, but with a query. He says that in his material ‘the 
branches are erecto-fastigiate and loosely intricated by coalescing 
to each other’’; and as arvey does not mention that character, 
Okamura is a little doubtful of the identity of his plants.

Mr. Lucas finds this species thrown up fairly freely in Botany 
Bay in winter. Writing subsequently in January, 1905, he says :— 
only tapering to the long point more rapidly and on shorter pedicels. 
About the habit Harvey expresses doubt in the text, and certainly 
the figure is not a fortunate presentation of our plant.”
