PREFATORY NOTICE. 
—o— 
Is issuing the present Bulletin, I take the opportunity afforded 
of again expressing my thanks to those correspondents in the remote 
parts of the colony who have so persistently carried on the work of 
- collecting and forwarding to me specimens of the indigenous vegeta- 
tion with notes on their economic properties. By this means the work 
of developing our vast flora is being steadily carried on, and the 
“conomic as well as the botanical features of the plants recorded. 
Being often required to determine the names of plant specimens 
collected in our neighbouring colony, New Guinea, I intend in future 
to devote a few Separate pages in these Bulletins to record descrip- 
tions of the new species, or such notes as may be thought advisable 
"pon the older plants. My list of vernacular names with ‘their. 
botanical equivalents given in “ Catalogue of Queensland Plants” 
having been found of special service to the public, I have in this 
Siven an extension of the list.
