APPENDIX II. 293 



stated : "It is doubtful whether M. Leucadendron, Linn., really occurs in 

 Australia. Comparison of AustraUan materialhas been made with the original 

 specimens of Linnaeus in the Herbarium of the Linnean Society of London, and 

 Dr. Daydon Jackson was not able to match anv of the specimens sent." (See 

 also Baker and Smith, Jour. Roy. Soc, N.S.W.," xlvii., p. 193, 1913). A photo- 

 graph of the original specimen of M. Leucadendron, Linnaeus, is reproduced by 

 Messrs. Baker and Smith on Plate viii., of the latter work. 



In examining the specimens collected by Baldwin Spencer, G. F. Hill, 

 and others from the Northern Territory, and comparing them with the material 

 in the collection contained in the National Herbarium, Sydney, it seemed to me 

 that at least nine (if not more) species or well-marked varieties were included 

 under the name M. Leucadendron, and that these were referable to the various 

 species included as synonyms by Bentham and others. I have accordingly 

 drawn up a complete list and arranged them in alphabetical order, of those 

 species which have to be taken into consideration when deahng with M. 

 Leucadendron as follows : —
