H. hexaiidra was seen by the writer of these lines near 

 King George's Sound and the Shannon ; the leaves, when 

 fresh, are carnulent. 



H. odontocavpa extends to the Gascoyne River (Forrest), 

 to Youldeh and Oudabinna (Tietkens), to the Elizabeth 

 River (Giles), to the Lachlan River (Tucker). 



U. serra ranges to the Clarence River (Beckler), Hunter 

 River (Miss H. Carter). 



H. exalata was obtained at Mount Dromedary (Reeder), 

 on the Burnett River (Hely) ; the leaves are paler beneath ; 

 the stigmas are not conspicuously bearded. 



H. rotwndifolia varies in height from one-half to four 

 feet ; it is perennial, like nearly all its congeners ; we know 

 this plant now from Karri-Dale (Walcott), the Shannon, the 

 Collie, the Preston, and the Serpentine Rivers (F. v. M.) 

 The leaves are sometimes not at all larger than those of 

 H. micrantha, to which species this plant bears some 

 resemblance in the capillary branchlets of the panicle and in 

 the minute fruits. 



H. scordioicles has an irregularly wrinkled, truncate- 

 globular, somewhat quadrangular fruit, not much longer 

 than the calyx-lobes. 



H. micrantha has been sent from Walcha by Mr. Crawford. 



H. depressa occurs on Mount Field, at elevations from 

 3 to 4000 feet, also on Mount Kosciusko (F. v. M.) 



' H. teucrioides has been found in New England (C. Stuart), 

 in Yorke's Peninsula (Tietkins), near Streaky Bay and 

 Fowler's Bay (Mrs. Richards), in Kangaroo Island (Prof Tate). 



H. tetragyna reaches the Tweed (Hickey), the Dawson 

 River (O'Shanes}^), and the Darling Downs (Lau). 



H. leptotheca is contained in our collections now, also from 

 King's Sound (Hughan), Yeldham Creek (Armit), Trinity 

 Bay (Fitzalan). H. acanthocarpa, to which Bentham joins 

 H. leptotheca, seems rather to constitute a form of H. 

 tetragyna, which latter would, early in the century, be much 

 more readily accessible to Brogniart than the intra-tropical 

 H. leptotheca. 



H. elata extends to the Castlereagh River (WooUs), Mac- 

 quarie River (Betche), Darling River (Burkitt), Lachlan 

 River (Tucker), Gawler Range (Ryan), Condamine River 

 (Hartmann), Bogan (Morton), Dawson River (O'Shanesy). 

 Contrary to what the specific name would imply, this plant 

 seldom attains a height of two feet ; some of the leaves 

 assume occasionally quite a lanceolar form.
