Since a long time it h my wish to dedicate a memorable plant of the 
Australian flora to the vecnite pws kin Jean Louis Armand de Quatrefages, 
now an octogenarian, who since more than half-a-century advanced anthropologic 
and séslogia gbeserheny in a manner which had important er also on the 
autochthones as well as on the fauna of the lower invertebrata of these far 
southern colonies. The plant which now bears ’ celebrated au a: restricted to 
the loftiest heights of intra-tropical Australia.—JF. v. M. lc.
