136 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



South Coast, Jan. 1802 ," is H. tetragyna var. hispida Schindler, 

 which is not localized in the monograph. A sheet of specimens 

 collected by Banks at Cape Grafton in 1770 contains H. teucrioides 



and H . tetragyna var. genuina. 



H. aggregata Buchanan u var. a diffusa (Hook, f.) Schindler." 

 There would seem to be some confusion about this name. The 

 H. tetragyna var. diffusa of Hook. f. was based on the plant called 

 by Banks and Solander Cercodia procumbens, but this Dr. Schindler 

 names (in herb.) H. aggregata var. incana, applying the name 

 diffusa to a very small-leaved plant which certainly agrees better 

 with the descriptions, I find an example almost exactly corre- 

 sponding with this among the Banksian duplicates ; the specimens 

 show considerable range in the size of the leaves, and the form 

 seems hardly to deserve a name. The figure does not agree 

 with it. 



H. longifolia Schindler. To this Dr. Schindler refers Brown 

 4419 and 4420, from Port Jackson, which Bentham placed under 



H. tetragyna. 



H. salsoloides Benth. Dr. Schindler does not cite under this 

 Brown's specimens (no. 4432) on which Bentham's description was 

 largely based. The citation of the name as " H. salsoloides (Reichb.) 

 Benth.'' seems unnecessary, as Reichenbach's name in Sieber's 



exsiccata and in Steudel's Novienclator was a mere nomen nudum. 



H. diffusa Diels. Dr. Schindler refers to this the plant distri- 

 buted by Mr. C. P. Andrews (no. 288) as H. teucrioides. 



H. heterophylla Brongn. var. capreolicomis Schindler. To 

 this are to be referred Brown's plants from Port Jackson and Port 

 Dalyrmple (nos. 4430 and 4431). 



H. lzevis Schindler. Brown's Grove River plant (no. 4427), 

 placed under H. alata in the Flora Australiensis, is identified by 

 Dr. Schindler with his H. lavis. 



H. tenuifolia Benth. Dr. Schindler places here the plant 

 named H. Gossei F. Muell. in Journ. Bot. 1897, 165 and Journ. 

 Linn. Soc. xxxiv. 190. 



H. breviloba Schindler. The plant distributed by Mr. C. P. 

 Andrews (no. 289) as Meionectes Broimii is referred here by Dr. 

 Schindler; it was collected near Perth, W. Australia. 



H. simplex R. Br. MSS. (H. pusilla var. (?) subaphylla 

 Benth. Fl. Austral, ii. 481). On the sheet of specimens Dr. 

 Schindler has noted — " Certainly different from H. pusilla and not 

 a variety of 3ame ; perhaps near H. salsoloides, but there being no 

 flowers and fruits, not determinable/' Brown's MSS. contain a 

 full description of both flowers and fruit, which it seems desirable 

 to publish : — _ .
