 Eadix fibrosa/' (No. 4438.) 



Brown gives as the locality "Bay I. South Coast, Jan. 1802. " 

 Mr. C. P. Andrews distributes (no. 287) under the name " Haloragis 

 pusilla var. subaphylla M what looks like the same plant from 

 11 swampy ground, Albany/' but the material is insufficient for 

 examination, 



H. racemosa Lab. var. avgusti folia Schindler. Dr. Schindler 

 refers no. 4451 of Brown's collection to this variety. 



H. paniculata Br. and H. lanceolata Br. were not seen by Dr. 

 Schindler when preparing his monograph and their position was 

 therefore doubtful; he notes that the former (no. 58) should follow 



H. foliosa (no. 34). 



Myriophyllum Votschii Schindler (il/. pedunculatum Hook, f.) 

 in part. To this Dr. Schindler refers the plant distributed by Kirk 

 (no. 551) from the Bluff, South Island; it is only recorded from 

 North Island in the monograph. Brown's plant (no. 4441) from 

 King's Island, Tasmania, named by Bentham M. pedunculatum, is 

 referred by Dr. Schindler to his var. angustatum of M. amphibium, 

 which he records only from Curdie's River, Victoria. 



M. propinquum A. Cunn. var. a genuinum. Dr. Schindler refers 

 here Brown's Port Jackson plant (no. 4443) included by Bentham 



under M. vernicosum. No. 4442 is M. verrucosum. 



M. elatinoides Gaud. The plant distributed as " Ceratophyllum 

 demersum L." in the very badly named set of Bang's u Plantae 

 Bolivians" (no. 800) should be placed here. 



Gunneka lobata Hook. f. Dr. Schindler places Dysemone lobata 

 Banks & Sol. as a synonym. Sir Joseph Hooker's description was 

 based upon this and on specimens collected by himself on Hermite 

 Island. Dr. Schindler named the Banksian specimens in the 

 Herbarium G. magellanica, of which they are clearly small examples, 

 A comparison of these with Parkinson's drawing made during the 

 voyage and cited by Hooker (1. c.) under lobata shows that the two 

 do not correspond ; and a search among the duplicates resulted in 

 the discovery of two small specimens which are identical with the 

 Hermite Island plant, to which Solander's description also applies. 

 Dr. Schindler did not see Parkinson's drawings, in which both 

 species are represented; he quotes that of G. magellanica [D. inte-
