SOME REPUTED MEDICINAL PLANTS OF NEW 



SOUTH WALES. 



(INDIGENOUS SPECIES ONLY.) 



By J. H. Maiden, E.L.S., &c. 



(1) Botanical diagnoses have been rigidly excluded, as they can 

 readily be obtained from the Flora Australiensis at the places 

 indicated. 



(2) References are given to the Flora Australiensis, but note 

 is made of all differences of synonymy between that work and 

 the " Census of Australian Plants" by Baron von Mueller. 



(3) The alphabetical order of species-names has been given, in 

 the belief that that arrangement will be the most generally con- 

 venient in a paper of this kind. 



(4) Detailed references to the gums, resins, and kinos, also to 

 the essential oils (although medicinal), have been omitted, as these 

 substances form groups which can be conveniently dealt with by 

 themselves. 



(5) Some of the plants referred to are better known as 

 *' Foods," " Timbers," " Tans," (fee, but I have endeavoured to 

 keep strictly to the subject of my paper, 



(6) I have given the names of authors of statements wherever 

 I could ascertain them. 



(7) This paper may be looked upon as a companion-paper to 

 that of Mr. Bailey on " The Medicinal Plants of Queensland " 

 in the Pi'oceedings of this Society, Vol. V., p. 1. 



Since this was written I have observed a short paper by the 

 Rev. Dr. Woolls, entitled " Plants of New South Wales having 

 Medicinal Properties," in the Victorian Naturalist, p. 103, Vol. IV.
