MELALEUCA. 



M. alsopMla, A. Cunn.- MacArthur River, G. F. Hill (No. 671), 5/11/11. 

 We have specimens of this species in the National Herbarium from Wyndham, 

 North West Austraha, collected by A. E. Woodroffe in 1903, and from Goody 

 Goody and Wyndham, E. Kimberley, collected h\ W. V. Fitzgerald in April, 

 1905. 



M. acacioides, F. v. M. — Tree 30 ft. high, on Sandstone Country, near 

 Tanumbirini, and 14 mUes N.N.W. Meyers' Hill, G. F. Hill (Nos. 563 and 803), 

 6; 9/11 and 20/3/11. 



SERIES CIRCUMSCTSS^. 



M. symphyocarpa, F. v. M. — Northern Territory, C. E. F. AUert (No. 138), 

 Stoney Creek, Booroola, G. F. Hill (No. 669), 8/11/11. 



There are also specimens in the National Herbarium, Sydney, from near 

 Darwin collected by N. Holtze, and by Baldwin Spencer in July-August, 1911, 

 and from Cape York by Macleay ; also from Cape Sidmouth, without collector's 

 name or date. 



M. angustifoUa, Gaertn. — Abraham's Lagoon, near Darwin, Baldwin 

 Spencer, July -August, 1911. There are specimens in the National Herbarium, 

 collected by Banks and Solander in 1770. This species is erroneously cited as a 

 synonj'm under M. viridiflora, Gaertn, by De Candolle (Prodr, iii., p. 212), and 

 Don (Hist, of Gard and Bot. ii., p. 814), probably owing to the fact that the 

 rar. angustifoUa, Linn, f ., of M. Leucadendron has been mistaken for this species. 

 See also Baker and Smith (Journ. Roy. Soc, N.S.W., xlvii., p. 199 (1913). 



I have consulted both Gaertner's work and the Index Kewensis, and find 

 that in both works, M. angustifoUa, Gaertn, is regarded as a distinct species. 

 Melaleuca angustifoUa, of Blume, however, is, according to Index Kewensis, a 

 synonym of M. Lev/:adendron.
